Higher Education for Women
In this modern era, there are still some parents who are reluctant about sending their daughter to college. The narrow attitude shown to women’s education is largely due to the traditional role of women in society. A woman is expected to be a wife and a mother. Most parents believe that if their daughter gets married and chooses to be a housewife, then the higher education will be waste. However, an educated woman is not only a better wife but also contributes something to the society.
Nowadays, more and more women are successfully combining their career and marriage. Educated women are richer both emotionally and financially. They are able to find an outlet for their monotonous drudgery of their housekeeping. They bring more satisfaction and contentment their lives.
Depriving girls of higher education crass discrimination. Times have changed, modern people regardless of gender. Today, women work alongside men. In fact, in the last few decades, women have made outstanding contribution to society.
Women should be given the freedom to be educated whether or not they get married or go to work after finishing their education, because it is only through education that a woman will find herself useful and discover what she wants in life. A woman who works is not an insult to her husband. Conversely, her husband should feel proud of her achievement since marriage is actually an equal partnership
Therefore, parents should not think that girls should receive less education just because they will get marriage one day.
