It really sad how in certain areas in Pakistan, women are forbid to go to school. In most Pakistani culture women are still label as mothers and wives therefore their place is to be at home only. As one of the third world and the poorest countries, you may think that these are might be the reasons that prevent women to enroll in schools. Sadly, this is not the case. Most Pakistani family believes that education is not part of the women's world; men think that women just have to be at home; cleaning, cooking, and taking care of their children. In one of the article that I read for our research paper, it is said that education is the most important essential to help the country from poverty but yet women are not allowed to get an education let alone expected to help the country to reduced the percentage of poverty in Pakistan. So I was just wondering, if these men were willing to let their girls to go to schools, will it help Pakistan in terms of building up their economics for the better?
I agree with you Alma on your question at the end. I believe that it will help Pakistan's economics for the better. You will have more educated persons in the country and more people who want to do good for their towns and country.
