There are many reasons why girls in countries such as Afghanistan don't go to school one of them is that they don't have independence to make there own decisions.Malala explained this to us in document D where she said ¨In Pakistan when women say they want independence,people think we don't want to obey our father's,brothers, or husband.¨ She explained how her society view women having independence they view this as morally bad which has lead men to make the decisions and therefore have keep girl out of school.ANother big issue is that girl get married before they even turn 18 according to document A.To be exact 15 million girls are married before they turn 18 which turn into 18millon girls who drop out of school of who never went to school.Many of you might agrue that they all dont drop out that probabity ture but 99% will when you have a husban to take of and children and you don´t have the right to make destion an eduction becomes …show more content…
As you can see the number are really bad for number student who attend school and what said about this is a random you're born in and it shouldn't have impact on the education you receive it but it
Education surrounds partially the entire world. Children, women, and men all attend school in America to build knowledge in order to find a job and make money. However, there are some places around the world where only men have access to education. For instance, Pakistan; located in South Asia, numerous amount of girls do not receive the education like other girls in America. This is specifically a problem for children, especially girls in Pakistan because they are not going to school like the girls in America, achieving the same level of education. Instead, they are seen as weak and are restricted from doing many things that men are allowed to do, like playing sports, going to school, participating in public events, and even being seen in public. Malala, a girl from Pakistan, sees the educational inequality where she lives and decides to fight for her educational freedom. Malala’s establishes her emotional appeals, credibility, and statistics to promote education for children in Pakistan by revealing her struggles fighting for
Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.
They are not allowed to go anywhere without a male relative. Breaking these rules brings severe punishment, which may include public whipping or even execution.” (6) This is a challenge because the taliban are against girls so they don’t have the right to get a career or walk by themselves. Career is important because you need to be able to take care of your family and afford food. Finally one of the hardest challenges was that Malala and the other Jewish girls couldn’t get an education. The text states, “In January 2009, the Taliban ordered all girl schools to close. That included Malala’s school, which her father had owned for more than a decade. It was devastating news. School was one of the most important parts of Malala’s life-and a luxury she never took for granted.” (7) This is a challenge because the taliban are against girls so they don’t have the right to get an education or live normal. Education is important because if you are no learning you won’t know how to read or have a conversation.
Females are discriminated against, mistreated, and are valued less since women and girls are not allowed to attend school and higher education. There are approximately 35 million girls not enrolled in elementary school. This explains why two-thirds of illiterate people over the age of 15 are females. Malala Yousefszai is an advocate for girls’ education all over the world. We learned that she was shot by the Taliban for standing up for education when we had to watch the video where she was on The Daily Show. Malala said that men don't want women to get an education, because then women would become more powerful. Having an education brings power. Her father was a great encouragement for her because he spoke out
Many families only allow their daughters to attend all-girls schools close to their home and not many of these schools exist. Other families believe it is unnecessary for girls to be educated because the woman’s place is at home, not in the economy. “Life as an Afghan Woman” explains, “Schools for girls have been burned down, hundreds of teachers educating girls have been threatened or killed,...[and] physically harmed…. Only forty percent of Afghan girls attend elementary school, and only one out of twenty girls attend school beyond sixth grade.” Education has been presented to girls, but because of the lack of girls attending, this advancement of women’s education has not made as large of an impact as anticipated. Central Statistical Organization states “Based on the data of Statistical Yearbook 2014, the total numbers of civil servants of the government are 398,195 persons of which, 77.8 percent male and 22.2 percent are females.” Women have much less involvement in government and it is rooted from the lack of education received by the women as a young girl. A 2014 data analysis from the Central Statistical Organization shows in the “Zabul province in terms of girls’ enrolment in school is at the lowest level as girlboy ratio is 22/78.” Education equality has long suffered throughout Afghanistan due to the results of a patriarchal society, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t looking up in the
Women in third world countries are not given the same opportunities when it comes to education. The ratio of girls to boys who attend school in Afghanistan in today's society is 5:16. Despite how low this is compared to the Unites States, which is 43:56 male to female, Afghanistan has come a long way since in the past fifteen years. In
Globally women do not have the same chances for an education like other women around the world. Malala Yousafzai is a prime example of women in Pakistan who are not allowed to have a good education like men in her country. As a young child, she defied the Taliban and demanded that all women get a fair education. According to britannica.com Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a man that worked for the Taliban; She was shot due to standing up to them because she wanted equal rights for women to have a good
The institution of education in many regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan is virtually nonexistent. Many girls don’t have access to schools (Stones into Schools p.4) and those that do usually don’t graduate from high school. While Greg Mortenson’s Stones into Schools and the documentary The Miseducation of Pakistan deal with two different areas, they both show many similar themes.
In the United States, a child needs there education and they’re required to go to school by law. Getting a education for a girl in the middle east is very rare, it all depends on the family. BBC News published a article Muslim Women Struggle for an education, and they asked parents why they did not allow their girls to go to school and they said “because it’s wrong, it’s irreligious, it’s improper- they should stay at home to prepare for their real life, their married life”. The girls have no option and have to obey their parents. A lack of education means that these girls are not going to have the knowledge in order to read, write, and solve mathematic problems . Women in the Middle East are not considered equal with males because the society they live in doesn't accept the idea of them having equal opportunity as male
One of them being the long term effects that has resulted because of this issue. Because of their education neglection, they lack many basic skills that are needed for work. Reading and writing is needed for many jobs, and if they are illiterate they are unable to perform the assigned tasks. Also, there are some jobs in Pakistan that are specific to women, and because of the lack of skills these jobs are always in need. Another long term effect is that many girls are forced into marriage at a young age. Their lack of education leads them to marry an older working man because according to some Pakistani representatives, girls should be prepared to become 'obedient' wives and mothers rather than be educated (Girl’s Education in Pakistan, 2013). Poverty and debt is another long term effect that many are facing because of their lack of education. Women are unable to get a decent paying job to support themselves or their children if they do not have the skills needed for the job. Historical significance is also seen through the Taliban. They are a group of people who have gained power throughout the years and because of them many actions were created. Undeserved deaths, many bombings and unnecessary violence, strict rules, and banning of ordinary things are just a few (Who are the Taliban, 2015). One last reason that the issue of girl’s education in Pakistan has historical significance to it is that many have been inspired by it. Malala was just the start of it, and it inspired girls and women of all ages in not only Pakistan, but all over the world to fight for their education. Many different organizations are working to help increase the number of girls that attend school all over the world. Some are The Global Business Coalition for Education, A World at School, and The Malala Fund. Marriage-free child zones are also being set up in countries where girls are being married off at a young
Being un-educated is like being an infant in a dark room, both will constantly be anxious about their lack of knowledge or information. Millions of people in various countries across the world are condemned to this darkness due to their inability to receive an education. In Three Cups of Tea by David Oliver Relin, the abysmal state of the education in third world countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan stems from the absence or atrocious state of schools. This can be seen by looking at the influence the Taliban had over the system, the backwards nature of the madrassa’s which ingrained hate in the minds of children and also, the sexism in society. All these factors led to desperation amongst people to get an education for themselves or their
There are 62 million girls, and counting, that are not in school; 3.2 billion including both women and little girls. Education is something taken for granted in first world countries, or countries in good development. Still, even in well developed parts of the world there is a huge hole between genders and what is to become of them. A big portion of this goes to the Middle East as we see that women do not have an appropriate part in society. Because of this we see billions of women and girls not going to school to continue their studies; it hurts a portion of boys and men too, but even far greater to the females of this earth. There are various reasons why girls are not allowed to go to school: poverty which leads to young marriage, violence keeps people scared, societies do not give women their respective place, and the countries suffer because they kill their dreams before they come to life.
Over 62 million girls around the world are denied an education. Some start elementary school, but most don’t even make it to junior high. The girls in Swat Valley, Pakistan are specifically told that they cannot go to school by the Taliban. According to the
For the children in Swat Valley, such as Malala, it is a privilege to go to school, whereas in America going to school is the norm. In America, there are laws such as NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, but in Swat Valley Taliban discourages children from going to school especially girls. Malala says, “Please bring my schoolbag, exams are coming up (Yousafzai 151),” even though she is in the hospital with a bullet wound, Malala still thinks about her upcoming exams and how she needs to study for them. It is ironic that people, like Malala live in a place where education is a privilege and people who are able to get it, have a vast amount of passion for it. Children in America don't understand the importance of education in the way these children do, since children in well off countries do not have first hand experience of what life is like without
The statistics are completely different in Afghanistan. 82% of students are male and only 18% are women (Women and Girls in Afghanistan). Therefore when those who did not attend school get married, their daughters are not being pushed to go to school. They will most likely follow in their parent’s footsteps. In America, it is abnormal to drop out of high school.
