Save Education!









As can be seen from the previous two blogs, the videos about the Taliban taking over schools, and this picture, people are concerned and want to save the education of children, especially women in the Swat Valley.
I believe the Pakistani Government should be more involved and try to force the Taliban back to help save the education. It is hard enough for people in rural areas to have a school to go to and the Taliban is making it even tougher for students to go to school. Women in these areas are often not allowed to go to school because if there is a school men are usually the first to be allowed to go. The Pakistani Government needs to help the people in the Swat Valley, especially women attempting to go to school. The more people who are educated in Pakistan, the more the country will improve and eventually become a developed nation in the world.
