Female Education

Education is a crying need to all. Woman is one half of our total population. If womenfolk remains illiterate, no national development can be achieved [অর্জন]. So, female education is a must in our country at present.

Without the help and whole-hearted co-operation of woman the nation cannot progress [অগ্রসর]. In practical life, the role of woman is not of less importance than that of the man of the family. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,"-is a maxim. A woman rears [মানুষ করে] the infants [শিশু], builds them up as a worthy [যোগ্য] citizen and leader. Woman also plays and important role in the economic field. So, to manage the family in a decent way a man depends on his wife. A housewife performs her household affairs, keeps poultry and thus helps the family economically.

Our prophet Hazrat Muhammad (sm.) laid great importance on the education of both male and female. Without education a woman cannot do anything properly for her children and also cannot help them to lead a worthy life.

Some orthodox [গোঁড়া] people speak against female education and create obstacle [বাধা] to it. In fact, it is an offence [অপরাধ].

Female education is a vital [অত্যাবশ্যক] need to our developing Bangladesh. So, we should be up and doing the expansion [সম্প্রসারণ] of female education side by side with men.
