In Pakistan gender
discrimination, exist in all institutes as family, education, health, marriage,
career development, etc. However, gender discrimination in education department
influence negatively to the progress of the whole country. Although, gender
discrimination in education exists in all over the country, but it is more
prominent in the rural areas. In rural areas, people treat the males and females
entirely different way. They think women are created for household work; she
cannot perform her duty in the workplace. They have a perception that women have
no right to get an education. Consequently, the government of Pakistan invests
less on women's education as compare to men. In this way, the education rate in
the rural areas of Pakistan is very low, and women are unable to play active
role in the society. Rather, women waste their whole life in useless activities
and even cannot train their offspring effectively.
The education and economy has direct relation. Only those nations have economic
progress, which gave prime importance to education. Unfortunately, Pakistan, is
one of those countries, which are unable to eradicate poverty due to very low
education rate. Globalization has created a tough competition in the world. Only
those countries are going towards progress, which have an effective education
system. However, in Pakistan is far behind because it has no progress in
education. Still evil of gender discrimination exists in all over the Pakistan.
Only those countries get success in which each individual plays his/her own
role. However, in Pakistan only male have right to get an education, only the
male is responsible to earn the bread and all other family members depend upon
him. In such miserable situation, how can Pakistan compete the developed
countries?
To sum up, it is necessary to remove the gender discrimination, particularly in
the education department. The Male and females must have equal right to get an
education. The government should take serious action about the enrollment of
children in the rural as well as urban areas. By improving the education system
Pakistan can eradicate poverty and may get great progress.
