Getting More Closer to Mega Project

Generation after generation of children, particularly girls, are locked out of education throughout all provinces and into, their desire to “be someone,” and how these hopes were shattered by being unable to learn.

Problem

I want to work for Compulsory Girls Education in Province Punjab. Because parents are reluctant to send their daughters to schools because of security/Safety concerns, lack of facilities, lower provision in rural areas and poor Infrastructure.

Statement

Problems and Progress in the development of Girls Education in Province Punjab.

Every girls has a right to be EDUCATED

Pitch

“The Pakistan government’s failure to educate children is having a devastating impact on millions of girls,” said Liesl Gerntholtz, women’s rights director at Human Rights Watch. “Many of the girls we interviewed are desperate to study, but instead are growing up without the education that would help them have options for their future.”

Human Rights Watch interviewed 209 people for the report most of them with girls who never attended school or were unable to complete their education, and their families in all four of Pakistan’s provinces: Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh.

Human Rights Watch also interviewed parents, educators, experts, and activists, and visited schools.

Among the factors keeping girls out of school, Human Rights Watch found, are the government’s under-investment in schools, lack of schools, prohibitive school fees and related costs, corporal punishment, and a failure to enforce compulsory education. Human Rights Watch also found poor quality within both government and low-cost private schools, a lack of government regulation of private schools, and corruption.

In addition to these factors within the education system, girls are also blocked from attending school by external factors including child labor, gender discrimination, child marriage, sexual harassment, insecurity, and attacks on education.

The Pakistan government has consistently invested far less in education than is recommended by international standards. As of 2017, Pakistan was spending less than 2.8 percent of its gross domestic product on education far below the recommended 4 to 6 percent leaving the government’s education system severely under-funded. Government schools are in such short supply that even in Pakistan’s major cities, many children cannot reach a school on foot safely in a reasonable amount of time. The situation is far worse in rural areas. And there are many more schools for boys than for girls.

Assuring parents security concerns by developing girls schools in their areas may increases the enrollment rate. Recruiting the well trained staff. Providing girls extra curricular skills like cooking, Sewing, baking and menu planning etc.

Why I care

Education for girls is highly imperative as it develops them as an individual who play a pivotal role in a society, are well informed and independent. They are the ones who lead to the upbringing of children and fulfill the duty of educating them along the way.

A famous saying is that “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”

It means that a mother exercises great influence over the lives of her children. She is able to mold their thoughts and character.
