Right Of Education In Pakistan

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.

Education is one of the most important contributors to having a successful future. In developed countries such as North America boys and girls are fortunate enough to have access to an unbiased education system. Therefore, allowing children to have countless opportunities. However, in countries like Afghanistan girls are marginalized and neglected the right to learn. Afghanistan is a country of war, where women and girls are often the worst victims. In 2011, Afghanistan was known as the most dangerous place in the world for a girl to be born (Kissane). Malala Yousufzai, a female education activist was also a victim of war. Yousufazi was shot in the head and neck for advocating for girls and their rights to have access to education. Similarly, to Yousufzai many women in Afghanistan stand up for their entitlement to having equality. Those courageous women often become victims of abuse and are often killed. Investing in girls’ education is critical, not only is it life-altering for a girl’s future, but it’s also poses benefits to society. By allowing Afghan girls access to educating we are also promoting better socioeconomic s, a reduction in child marriages, and an improvement in mortality rates.

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

Girls make up more than 54% of the uneducated population and it’s because if women were educated they would understand how unjust their way of living is and would stand up for themselves. Malala Yousafzai from Pakistani stood up for herself and her education and as a result got shot on a bus ride to school one day in October of 2012. But after speaking out and traveling to various seminars to project her knowledge of the conditions of living she was born into to everyone she was awarded the ‘2014 Nobel Peace Prize’ just last year. It makes you wonder how many people are being starved of education and suppressed of a well-deserved

It has become common in the modern era of America to forget that many nations are poverty-stricken and lacking proper education around the world. In the United States, most children take a bus, are driven, or walk a short distance in mild weather to reach school. The buildings themselves are typically modern and clean, with an abundance of high quality coloring supplies, binders, and notebooks. Pakistani children get none of these luxuries, particularly girls. Occasionally, parents are able to send their children walking to a small school building with underdressed and underfed students where often no teacher is present, but even this poor form of education is a rarity. Girls fare even worse with a 2:3 ratio of females receiving education to

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

It’s a freedom and a privilege for people to be educated and have the right to go to school. In this speech Malala explains how her education was threatened by a man who believed girls were evil. So as she says, “Those who fought for their rights: Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated”(Yousafzai 310). Malala stands up for herself and all the others who are worth fighting for, which is also a freedom; freedom of speech. She believes we need to take a stand and stand up for not just ourselves, but others around us too. “Dear sisters and brothers, now it’s time to speak up. We call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity”(Yousafzai 312). Malala has been through the struggle of being free and continues to fight

The right to education is one important fundamental justice that everyone should have, but most times that right is denied. There 's many reasons why people, states or countries may not take education seriously. Pakistan is one country that has the most curtailment on education towards women. Malala Yousafazi became a young activist, she stood up for her people in Pakistan to restore the rights of education to women. Her journey began when she was just the age of fifteen; she was shot on her head near the school bus by the Taliban in 2012. After her surgery recovery, she addressed a speech to the youth in New York on July 12th. In 2013, Malala and her father co-founded the "Malala Fund" in supporting young girls like her. Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on December tenth, 2014 with Indian children 's rights. She bravely continues to work hard and strive for education justice so that, one day, every child will receive an education.

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

“When a boy is born in Pakistan, it’s a cause for celebration. Guns are fired in the air. Gifts are placed in the baby’s cot. And the boy’s name is inscribed on the family tree. But when a girl is born, no one visits the parents, and women have only sympathy for the mother” (Yousafzai, 18). A power yet true statement from Malala Yousafzai in her memoir, I am Malala, shows the gap between males and females in Pakistan. That gap has led to many issues in that region, one being girl’s educational rights. The historical significance of this issue is shown through the past of Pakistan and the shocking statistics that go along with it, as well as the long term effects and what is being done today.

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

If you ask social experts how to end worldwide poverty, they will tell you to educate teens especially girls. Per capita, if the social income goes up, mortality goes down, if economic growth increases, the rate of disease falls. For a nation to become more successful and more powerful, females have to be one of their greater sources; getting them educated and trained. There is a lesson out there in the world that a young lady by the name of Malala Yousafzai, a Pashtun girl from Pakistan shares with the world. Malala grew up with an uneducated and illiterate mother. Malala grew up in her father’s school and one day in October, a Taliban fighter jumped onto the school bus and demanded who was Malala and found her and shot her in the head point blank for speaking out her right to attend school. “I Am Malala: “The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban” by Malala Yousafzai. This book would be recommended for anyone wanting or interested in women’s rights and movements. Not only is this a drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat but it has an amazing message about how strong a female can be.

“They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in a home, school, or any other place” these are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, a human rights activist, and a Pakistani girl, who has traditions, stories, and a unique experience. She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and she lives up to her name as a heroine for girls education. Despite the cultural traditions of Malala Yousafzai’s community, she has grown as a world leader in spreading world peace throughout the globe, through her challenges, her accomplishments, and her growth in publicity, with her common goal being an education for all girls.

Education might not be the cure of the world’s problem but it’s important to be knowledgeable. It’s important to have an education because without it, it makes a person vulnerable to be guided in the wrong direction. Not everyone believes education is important in life and especially for a woman. Malala Yousafzai tells us her story and her fight for education in her book I am Malala. She tells us about her families struggle for the right of education and not just education in general but education for woman. She was raised in Pakistan and its one the counties in which some people believe a woman should not go to school or have freedom. Education was not as easy for her as other girls around the world. Sometimes people don’t take education as a privileged but as a right, but unfortunately it’s not this case everywhere and it wasn’t the case for Malala. She was also able to see by firsthand how illiteracy can be a danger to a person and how others can take advantage of it.
