Importance Of Women Access To Education

Importance Of Women Access To Education
Women's educational rights are either in jeopardy in many developing countries or women are not offered an education entirely. The European
Commission recently stated, "63% of women in developing countries overall are undereducated." Women in underdeveloped countries deserve the right
to access education to help enhance the country politically, economically, and socially. According to Anna Marie Gotez, allowing women access to
education helps to develop knowledge and communication skills that can be beneficial in political debate. Economically, allowing women access to
education will offer women more job opportunities which is beneficial to the economy. The Fourth World Conference, has recognized that women's
literacy is key to empowering women's participation in decision–making in society and to improve families' well–being. What is the Problem?
Allowing women, the access to education is a problem in developing countries. For instance, illiteracy is highest amongst females. In more than twenty
developing countries, illiteracy amongst women exceed 70%. In countries such as Niger where 78% of women are uneducated, Liberia where 77% of
women are uneducated, and the country with the highest percentage of uneducated women in the world, Somalia with 95% of women are uneducated,
the access to education for women is minimum and often frowned upon what is offered. Therefore, having negative effects on the country politically,
socially, and economically as I have previously

There are 65 million girls around the world that still do not have access to an education. Many people do not realize it, but developed countries take
education for granted. In today's society girls dread having to wake up early to go to school and learn for hours. Nevertheless, there are girls like
Malala Yousafzai who would do anything to attendschool even for an hour. Malala is a teenage girl who fought for her right to go to school no matter
what stood in her way. Unfortunately, she was shot by theTaliban who thought otherwise. However, this did not stop her from continuing to pursue
her dream of going to school. The Malala Fund was creating to help girls around the world that are denied access to an education. The point of this
project was to inform society about the importance of an education and how people can make a difference. Malala incredible voice inspired many
people around the world. She was severely punished for her actions but choose to continue anyway. At a age of 15 she was shot in the head by the
Taliban for standing up for her rights. After the vent she had written an autobiography and was still a target to the Taliban. Fortunately, that did not
stop her from continuing to get a safe, quality education she deserves. By following her dream, she caused many other girls to do the same. In order to
share her story and raise awareness about the topic, "Malala wanted to build an organization to empower girls to survive and thrive"(CNN). Not only

The Importance Of Gender Equality In Education
All around the world, generations of children have grown up with a history of male leadership. Gender equality has always been and continues to be
a struggle, but with more awareness being shed on this problem, it has been improving on a local and global scale. However, governments still lack
the gender diversity in their leadership positions that is needed by today's standards and expectations. With more activism on a local and global level,
future generations will grow up becoming leaders without limitations due to their gender.
I have been able to grow up in a fortunate environment with a strong sense of equal gender opportunity, but there was always the absence of equal
gender icons to look up to when I was growing up. Most textbooks and lessons were filled with the accomplishments of male scientists, explorers,
artists, and most of all, leaders. It is essential that we educate children at a young age the importance for the push towards gender equality in leadership
positions. After all, it is difficult for little girls to believe teachers when say that they can grow up to be anything they want to be when there are
male–clad posters of the United States presidents hanging up on the wall behind them. We cannot change the faces of the past to match our egalitarian
expectations, but we can add an equal mix of genders to the curriculums and environments that all children grow up with to encourage them to change
the future.

Summary OfThe Education Of Women By Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe: "The Education of Women"
At a moment's glance, Daniel's Defoe's 1719 publication "The Education of Women" looks to be quite progressive for the time period in which it was
written. He makes a claim of policy, stating that women should be educated in order to better serve men as companions. It is his justification for his
claim that falls flat when viewed under a modern lens – he cares little for the individual benefits a woman may receive from an education, instead
focusing on how education will further their ability to please men. That said, Defoe does state that although they should be educated to better serve
men, he does not believe they should "Stewards, Cooks, and Slaves." He believes that "The great distinguishing difference... between men and
women, is in their education", and that women's souls are "capable of the same accomplishments with men". The mix of traditional and progressive
views present in his essay, as well as the reasoning for such views, make the piece an interesting look into the social views of the Age of Enlightenment.
The logical base for Defoe's argument is a primarily traditional, Christian one. He first reasons that God created "nothing needless", and as God
created women with the ability to learn, women are meant to make use of that ability. To deny a women of education would be to deny God's will,
which would put such denier against God and Christianity as a whole. Defoe further claims that as Christianity is so tightly linked

The Importance Of Gender Education
Studies have confirmed that all cultures make a noticeable distinction between girls and boys, either consciously or subconsciously. A study on gender
socialization in Chinese Kindergartens (Chen & Rao, 2010) states that although the Hong Kong government does not require the teacher to teach about
gender. However, there is subconscious gender–based discrimination favoring the male gender. To the contrary, America is taking a turn to gender
education, starting as early as Kindergarten (FPIW, 2016), focusing on gender expressions not only as a male or female but also include
non–traditional identities, for example cross–dressing. Another important distinction in the development of children is the moral evaluation of modesty
and self–promotion in diverse cultural setting, as noted in this study by (Cameron, Lau, Fu, & Lee, 2012). This study analyzed how young children
distinguish the truth and found that many Asian communities reinforce early socialization and view humility, unpretentiousness or modesty as an
essential element of virtue. It was noted that kids perceive the truth differently based on cultural values, with Canadian children telling the truth as the
truth and showing a sense of pride in acknowledging their own good deeds with no shame in telling what they did for others. On the contrary, Chinese
children are more modest and sometimes preferred to deny their good deeds, feeling embarrassed to admit the truth in fear of being seen as boastful.

The Importance Of Women In Society
Through the past decades and up to today, women have had struggles throughout history. Especially in society today, girls have extremely high
expectations. Girls also have many personal struggles with how they judge themselves off of their self image because of modern day society.
They have to face natural complications that life will throw at them throughout their whole life span. Women are expected to be weak and unable
to do the jobs that men have are expected to be in our houses cooking and cleaning for the family. Some boys may believe that they have it harder
than girls but, they do not understand. Girls feel as if they have to be perfect with no flaws because of everything they see everyday. In today's
modern society there is an image that most girls think they should be like. Everyone wants to be fit, have beautiful hair and faces, have great
hygiene, wear makeup to make our imperfections disappear and so much more. Society makes them believe that they should look like the people that
you see on television and that every other body type should be considered ugly. Guys do not have as high of an expectation with society to present
themselves. As time goes on and self image becomes more relevant, expectations become higher which adds pressure to young girls today. Girls feel
as if they need to please others more rather than pleasing themselves. Some girls even struggle with eating disorders because they feel as if they aren't
skinny enough. Nearly every girl

The Importance Of The Freedom Of Education
Education is defined as the act of acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment. Having the freedom of education
allows everyone including women to have the opportunity to learn and be able to adapt in the industrial world. Through the use of different rhetoric,
Yousafzai and Clinton demonstrate the importance of women's rights and education in society.
To begin with, both authors use the repetition of parallel structures to advocate for women's rights and their freedom of education. This can be shown
as the text states "We call upon the world leaders that...must protect women and children's rights...We call upon all governments to ensure free
compulsory education for every child all over the world" (Yousafzai 14). This piece of evidence shows that not only is the speaker speaking about
the injustice against women all over the world, but it shows that she is willing to find a solution to help protect women's rights. By repeating 'we call
upon' in the speech, it prompts the readers to focus on the different aspects of things that they can do to help fight against this injustice. The speaker
wants every government to make sure that every child has an education as it is one of the most effective ways to help a community flourish. When a
child is educated, they have the opportunity to get a job and bring a sufficient income to the family. If both thewoman and the man bring an income in
a family, it allows a family to be able to flourish and in

The Importance Of Feminism In Modern Education
Modern education is changing faster than we can keep up with it. There are things being retracted and things being added very quickly. Education in
modern times, tends to flow with the times, meaning whatever major controversy there is, it's talked about in modern education. Feminism is a very
controversial topic that teachers and staff alike, are trying to get embedded into our education patterns. What exactly is feminism? Well it really
depends on what site you've read it off of but the dictionary definition is, the advocacy for women's rights based on the equality of the sexes. There can
be many pro's and con's to having feminism taught in our education, but there is higher likelihood of a negative outcome if we were to do so.
Feminism is very subjective movement. It's so complex that it often gets taken out of context and turned into something it is not. Having modern
education embed feminism into their courses, could end disastrously. With feminism being such a subjective movement, people need to be able to
gain their own perspective on what feminism is. Annie Dillard is an essayist who toys with an idea that we grown up with everyone's perspective on
things, so we cannot make a judgement or give a name to the things that we see. Dillard proclaims "I couldn't unpeach the peaches"(Dillard 51). If we
are told what feminism is, we will never know anything different. You cannot talk about feminism without biased opinions present because every
person sees feminism as

"One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world," a famous quote said by Malala, an activist for education. This quote inspires
every one to understand the importance of education and to stand up for it. This world has a lot of children and adults that do not have education
due to money and the limits of rights they have. In Malala's country and many other places in the world, education for boys is not an issue, but for
the girls it is. Due to gender, females do not have the right of education, like the males. Malala had a passion for school, making this issue upsetting to
her. This is going to be a journey about not just what is happening with Malala's country, but what is happening around the world. Malala inspires the
world from her background story, her obstacles and achievements and her overwhelming support from the world. Malala Yousafzai was born in
Mingora, Pakistan located in the country of Swat Valley on July 12, 1997. She was raised by her parents Pekai and Ziauddin. Also Malala had two
younger brothers named Kushal and Atal Yousafzai. Her best friend Safina meant a lot to her. She went to school at Khushal school for girls, which
her father founded. Malala loves school and the thrill of learning. She had aspirations and ambitions, which is the reason why Malala wants to go to
school. Her dream her dream is to become a doctor. However, this dream came with it's struggles as many people did not want girls going to school,
making education for

Essay on Equality for Women in Education
Before the 21st century, women have faced many obstacles when trying to gain equality. They were seen as the "weaker sex" and were seen as not
as educated or not as capable as men. Even when some women tried proving these statements to be wrong and showed that they were just as capable
as men and assert any sort of opinions they were ostracized and dismissed. They were seen as un–ladylike and were not respected. Women were not
given a chance to prove that they were equal to men during this time. Any opinions they raised were quickly dismissed. Many women writers and
thinkers were not taken seriously at this time (many having to create pseudonyms to hide their gender when they wished to not only be published but
to be taken seriously),...show more content...
Many young girls during this time who had an opportunity to be educated did so either in a convent school or in the home. She was educated in her
home and was educated by some of the greatest tutors. Emilie's father (Louis–Nicolas) was a host of a salon with many influential intellectuals, one
being Fontenelle. When Emilie expressed interest in astronomy, her father arranged for Fontenelle (the secretary of the French Academy of
Sciences) to "speak" with Emilie at age 10. Her father was one of few parents during this time that encouraged his daughter to study and wanted her
to become an intellectual. It has been said that her father had thought that Emilie would be "no great beauty" so that could have been one of the
reasons he encouraged her learning. He wanted her to have some value to a man she would one day marry. It is not known whether or not her mother
was "thrilled" about her daughter being educated in such a way, only speculation that she may not have been very happy with it but she accepted it. As
I stated, it was unusual at the time for parents to be so accepting of their daughter's interests in math and science, especially because of their status and
of the time however her father seemed to not only accept it but encourage it. Her father brought tutors to their home and received education in math,
literature and science

Essay about Importance Of A Woman
Society has always placed a great emphasis upon the importance of a woman's appearance, and through that emphasis women have instinctively been
taught to measure their self–worth in terms of the image they present, even more so than their intelligence. They have been given rigid and challenging
standards to live up to, standards that are usually unrealistic, unattainable, and disheartening. Many women spend a large majority of their lives
suffering trying to meet these standards. The ideal body image in this country today seems to be the long–haired 5'7", 95 lb female found in every
fashion magazine, every sitcom and every movie you will ever see. However, many women at 5'7" could starve themselves for their...show more

Standards for a woman's appearance were obviously set by men, for men. Women have been suffering since the beginning of time trying to please
these men, fixing their hair every morning, wearing girdles, cooking for them, cleaning for them, etc. Apparently, according to history and fashion
magazines, the only acceptable way to be a true woman, a woman who can gain the acceptance of a man, is to be perfect. For this reason, modern
society has made a business out of a woman's need for perfection. For instance, "airbrushing," or "retouching", a computer technique used in the
photography industry to hide imperfections (such as pimples) has been added to all applications for student pictures. It is also used in fashion
magazines to reshape the thighs of already near–perfect supermodels. The cosmetic industry is one of the most profitable in the world. A business has
been made out of products to accent the eyes, the cheeks, and to hide "blemishes." "Cellulite creams," overpriced products claiming to reduce the
appearance of fat have been added to the market, along with wrinkle creams and bikini waxes.
Despite the fact that society and the media have sent the message to today's women that self–esteem should be based upon image, women have still
made notable advances on the fashion front within the past century. Women no longer have to wear skirts or dresses every day, and pants have

The Importance Of Women In College Education
In the us women with some college education have more opportunities for higher paying jobs and this has affected society by making women more
independent. Having an education does not mean a job is in the near future. Having an education is a way to establish self–esteem, better one's self as
well as gain knowledge. Women's colleges and universities persist around the world, even as the vast majority of tertiary institutions are open to men
and women. In nearly every nation, women can attend even the most elite formerly all–male universities, and in several nations women are many of all
college students. Questions therefore arise about the continued need for a single–sex sector in the 21st century (Renn , 2012)
Education is considered as the critical software for development as it shapes the destiny for every society. Currently the initiative is driven by the
Millennium Development Goals and the goals of Education for All. The MDG's with direct reference to women education are Goal 2: Achieve
universal primary education and Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women. This means that everybody in the society should be given a
chance to attend school, women included (Anne Syomwene , 2015)
Firstly, women in society are all invited to obtain a higher education. The issue is not that women not being allowed to obtain an education the problem
is that not enough women are aware that college is a stepping stone in life. Not enough women come out of high school necessarily

The Importance Of Equality In Education
Equality is something almost anyone is willing to fight for whether it be within education, the work field, or any other place one may experience
discrimination. While equality was something people of color fought for during the Civil Rights era, discrimination has been a major issue around
the world today, and it has continued in the one place children are supposed to be taught to integrate and work with people of different backgrounds
and/or skin color; schools. People of color are allowed in schools and access to the same education as anyone else, but at times they still subject to
discrimination. In schools today, discrimination in the form of harsh punishment and negative racial perceptions has become a major obstacle people of
color may have to face to gain quality education.
The first step to solving any problem is acknowledging it, which has been done. Schools have rules set in place to ensure that everyone is treated
fairly. In "How to Promote Equality & Diversity in the Classroom" by Louise Petty, the author states rules like "setting clear rules in regards to how
people should be treated" and "creating an all–inclusive culture for staff and students," which are rules many schools use to make sure the idea of
equality for all is up held. By using rules that combat discrimination schools are acknowledging that fact that it happens, and conveying the message
that discrimination will not be tolerated.
Everyone can agree that discrimination is wrong, and that

Women and Education
An education holds significance to many people for a variety of reasons. For some, it may be the route to a desired career or just the next step after
high school. For others, attending a university is a way to increase their awareness of other viewpoints through the exposure to the diverse culture
represented on a campus. In evaluating the value and significance of my own education, I reflected on the education of the women of the 19th century.
Their outlook on education is somewhat different than ours today because of the fact that it was difficult and rare to be an educated woman during this
period. Today we posses the freedom to pursue almost any field available. However, in someinstances we face lower...show more content...
They wanted to develop universities competitive with men's institutions not only to help them become self–sufficient but also to subside their "aches
and pangs of ignorance." One women describes the long period of ignoring women's intellectual potentials as "this depressing sense of a miserable
waste of powers bestowed on us by God, and which we know we could use for the lessening of evil and the increase of the happiness of our fellow
creatures." The emotional tone of this statement suggests the act of becoming educated for this woman is critical to her ability to interact with
others in a way that can improve her community. To resist would be against what is natural and throwing away the benefits she could bring this
world. An education meant a respected place in society, a chance for your opinions the hold significance among your peers. This is similar today.
For one's opinions to be respected, one must appear knowledgeable. Nobody is going to fund a project, listen to a speech, or consider an idea
proposed by an uninformed individual. How do we become informed? We take classes from those who are whether at a university, seminar, or
workshop. To be educated today as well as then gives us the ability to contribute significantly to our field. Specifically, I can only contribute to the
scientific knowledge of immunology bettering people's lives through advancement in medicine if I

Persuasive Essay On Girls Education
"The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot
in that door and take your seat at that table ––– all of that starts with education." This is a quote directly from Michelle Obama during her Let Girls
Learn initiative. She has one goal in mind with this initiative – girls' education (SC8). Michelle, one of America's top leaders in, believes that everyone
should be able to have the opportunity to receive an education and to better the world with their talent and inspiration (BE4). In the entirety of our
world, there are around 65 million girls that are not in school; in ten countries, less than half of the girls that are living in poverty enter school; nine
out of ten girls do not complete their education (Facts). If I could change anything in the world, I would give all girls the chance to receive an education.
Around 9.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year (Reasons). Studies say that if the child's mother had a primary education there would be
15% fewer child deaths, with a secondary education, it would cut the death rate in half (SC2). Because the mother had gotten an education, she
would have learned about what nutrients to give to a child to boost their immune system and how to properly care for an ill child (BE2). Therefore,
a teen that does not go to school compared to a teen that does go to school is more likely to become pregnant in their teens (BE6). If a girl is
pregnant before their body has matured, there is a possibility she will either need a C–section or could possibly die during childbirth. Babies born to
teen mothers have a higher risk of being born prematurely and having a low birth weight: if born prematurely, this could result in loss or a
complication of the baby at an early age (SC3). Education about your health and body is very important, so the mother could prevent complications
to their child during pregnancy like muscular dystrophy, and down syndrome, and brittle bone disease (SC5). If all girls waited to get pregnant until
after age 18 they could save 189,000 lives each year, that would typically die from childbirth (BE3). Healthy and prepared, a woman could handle

Development Of Women Higher Education
Development of Women Higher Education in the United Kingdom
Introduction
A high–quality education is not only a need for every citizen in all countries, but also a fundamental right. This implies that everyone is entitled to it,
irrespective of gender. However, this has not been the case not only in theUnited Kingdom, but also almost in all countries across the world.
Disparities that are found in the many aspects of development with regard to gender have forced women to remain behind.1 In fact, in many countries,
women were not allowed to go to school, especially before the Great War. Despite the fact that there are some marginal improvements in the British
Universities, there is a long way to go with regard to disparities witnessed.1 In addition, the proportion of academics for women is higher, but the
number in the higher education is still low. This implies that there is a need to find out whether there is a method of ensuring that women in the higher
institution of learning are more than they are. According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), the gender pay gap in the British remains
high and there is a little improvement that has been realized.1 Initially, there were many obstacles to higher education, which made them to concentrate
on the household chores. However, the majority of them realized their potential after men went to fight in the World War I. Notably, during the war
period, education was highly neglected, but was reconstructed during the

Importance Of Female Education On India Essay
Importance of Female Education in Pakistan to Break Boundaries in Society The word "media" is derived from the word "medium" which means
a carrier of information through a large number of people. Since media is the screen through which a large number of messages pass through it
plays an integral role in the shaping of thoughts, ideologies and mind sets within a society. Throughout history it has played a significant role in
the shaping and evolution of societies and cultures all over the globe. Hence, we have a vast variety of cultures and societies in the world all
unique in themselves in terms of norms, values, ideologies etc. Like every society, the Pakistani media has also under gone a great deal of
evolution since its advent which in turn has caused the evolution of the society we live in the present day. The dimension of media is ever
changing and so is the change it brings about in society. Every film, every ad, every TV show, every music video, every song that is made has a
specific motive behind it. Every form of media intends to shape our society according to the ideas of the conceptualizers of that particular medium.
However, one thing that yet needs to evolve in our society is the ideology regarding the stereotyping of gender roles. A great percentage of society still
encourages women to stay at home, confining them to household chores with no leisure whatsoever. Female education is not considered important
among the lower class. As you move up the classes of
