ABSTRACT
Education is considered as one of the basic requirement of life. An educated mother
can better train and socialize her children and can participate in the national
development.
As far as the rural areas of our province are considered, there is a great concern
among the rural girls to seek education but they are not sent to school, colleges and
universities either due to poverty, cultural restrictions, traditions and misinterpretation
of religious belief. Most of the female consider only religious education important to
the girls. Female education plays significant role in the socio economic uplift of rural
areas. Education among the younger generation is in fact a great assert to the national
building up. An educated mother means an enligatened home because her contribution
in the socialization of children makes the house a hell or paradise. Female education
is also helpful for removing superstition and conservation from the society. The
present research was conducted keeping in view the importance of female education
and to know about the fathers attitudes towards daughter education in the area of
Ghareeb-Abad in Peshawar. The area is one of the back ward and special attention
regarding female education. this study was very helpful in finding the socio culture
and economic obstacles and the attitudes of fathers regarding daughters education.
The area of the research was Ghareeb-abad District Peshawar. The sample size of this
research was 20 respondents. The sampling procedure was accidental sampling in the
area of Ghareeb Abad. In this research the tool which is used for the collection of data
was interview. Interviews were taken from the individuals (Fathers) in the area of
Ghareeb Abad. The interview schedule was formulated through the consultation of
supervisor. The study revealed that there were various obstacles to female education
such as socio economic restrictions, poverty, pardah system, non-availability of
educational institutions, early marriages of girls and negative attitude of family
members and elders. At the end the researcher put forward some suggestions and
recommendations in order to promote female education in the area.

CHAPTER1
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Education is a basic human need and Islam particularly lays great emphasis on
acquiring education. According to the Prophet (S.A.W) The best form of worship is
the persuit of knowledge. It is essential for the people to acquire a broad base of
knowledge, attitudes, values and skills on which they can build a sound future for
their country. Education contributes a great deal in discovering and developing human
talent. Education does not mean just acquisition of a degree but it means awareness
which is essential for character building. This quality differentiates human beings
from other species.
Education is to develop the potentialities and talents of individuals and prepare them
for practical life. In other words education modifies the behavior of the students
positively and enables him to adjust him self with the environment. Education is the
mean of developing the entire personality of an individual. It includes administration,
examination, discipline method of teaching etc (Numan, 1998).
Education is a social function that serves the society which maintains it the first and
foremost role is to conserve the existing culture by transmitting it from generation to
generation. Education is not only an instrument of social stability, but also an agent of
social change. Education is a process by which man and woman, young and old are
taught now to contribute to their own welfare and the welfare of the society stability,
but also an agent of social change. According to the Islamic view point education is
the process to develop attitudes of individuals in harmony with Islamic values and
keeping them to build a sound view of life.
In the world of today the status of nation in directly related to their quality and level
of education. Huge changes have evolved in fields like defense, agriculture,
economics etc because of scientific knowledge. When a child learn unconsciously
from parents and surroundings, it is informal type of education. And when a child get

CHAPTER- 2
LITRATURE REVIEW
2.1
IQRA and that is the gist of Islamic philosophy of education. The stress on seeking
and acquiring knowledge is one of the basic concept of Islam, deemed as compulsory
on every Muslim male and female. The criterion in the Quran is those higher in
TAQWA (the right path) are higher in status.
O mankind, we have created you from male and female, and we have divided you
into tribes and sub tribes so that you could know each other. Verify the most honoured
AKRAMAKUM of you in the sight of God is the most righteous ATQAKUM of
you(The Quran 49:13) and TAQWA is attained through knowledge and by the
application of that knowledge to every aspect of life.
The importance of knowledge and culture in Islam is fully reflected in the Quranic
ayah, My God, increase my knowledge (Al-Quran 20:114) and the prophet tradition
seeking knowledge is an obligation on all Muslims. One of the paramount attribute
of ALLAH is His transcendent knowledge Lo!Your God is Wise and aware
(knowledgeable) (Al-Quran
6:83). It is essentially knowledge and volition, which makes the human elevated over
the angels. This is why perhaps, the angels asked to bow down to recognize
transcendence of knowledge and to offer their cooperation to man in his volitional
activiries. And we created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels. Fall you
prostrate before Adam, and they feel prostrate, all save Iblis(Al-Quran 7:11).
Men must seek knowledge from all possible sources, revelation, nature, life as well as
from others, who know and have wisdom, is an Islamic valve, Ask those who know
if you know not (Al-Quran 16:43 and 21:7). The Quran also refers to the sense of
ethic responsibility, consciousness and knowledge, which ALLAH creates in the
personality of a scholar. The empowerment through knowledge should not make a
scholar proud and arrogant. It should create in hint tenderness, responsiveness and
benevolence The erudite highlights the superiority of persons with knowledge over
the others Say unto them O, Muhammad (PBUH) are those who know equal with
those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed (Al-Quran 30:9).
It appears that education without purpose is not the be-all and end-all of everything.
Education like art must also have purpose. While knowledge is empowerment, a
purposeless empowerment tends to be a form of tyranny. While knowledge is power,
the problem with aimless power
paradigm, Iblis, later on given a qualitative name Satan, was not an ignorant person. It
was his egotism, self-conceit, a pride in excellence in knowledge, which made him
arrogant and rebellious enough to be condemned forever. Similarly, Aim.
Lethal,another character in history was not an illiterate and uneducated person. It was
his arrogant denial of the obvious truth, which earned him the title of Abu Jahal
(father of ignorance).
These and many other references in the Quran refer to those who seek knowledge,
who conduct research, investigate, explore, interpret introspect and reason out. This
shows that Islamic vision of human conduct is based on a conscious rational and
meaningful volitation behavior. In short, it leaves no room for a dogmatic way of life.
For Muslims learning and knowledge are not a matter of individual choice or priority
but in fact it is a command, a duty imposed by God and defines as the path to
TAQWA and Gods favour. To gain knowledge is the highest priority of a Muslim.
The Holy prophet(PBUH) called himself MADINA-tul-ILM (the city of knowledge),
and strongly asserted that to seek knowledge is JIHAD, an effort in the way of God.
Those who die during that struggle are to be granted the high status of SHAJEED
(martyn) by God. Thus in Islam learning attains the status of a religious duty, aiming
at the development of man as a whole being so that she/he acts for the sake of God.
Because of this specific concept of knowledge in Islam and its role in the
development of NAFS (self), learning is FARAZ (incumbent) upon every Muslim,
man and women. The aims of seeking knowledge are not subject to spatial or
temporal limitations. Related to the belief of life after death, the effects of knowledge
extend beyond the physical existence, including promises of rewards in this life and in
the life hareafter, if any do deeds of righteousness, be they male or female, and have
faith, they will enter paradise (The Quran, 4:124).
The here and hereafter linked with the development of the self through knowledge
with clear emphasis on the indeterminacy of gender in this regard.
2.2
FEMALE EDUCATION
The education of women folk is called female education. Islam provides equal
opportunities for education of man and woman. If we study the pre Islamic history of
the different nation of the world. We will come to know that there was no proper place
for a woman in these societies. They consider women as devil. They give no social
status to women but islam abolished all such objections against women. It give them
their proper status in the society. It gives them respect in the capacity of daughter,
sister, mother and wife. Islam says heaven is under the mothers foots
Our religion laid great stress on the acquisition of knowledge without sex
discrimination. The Holy Quran says Are those who know and those who do not
know equal? This shows that superiority is due to knowledge. A tradition says if a
person have slave girl then he educate her liberally and trains her in the best manner
in culture then set her free and marries her, he has double reward from his God
Education for nearly 50 million women in the presents special problems. Given the
extra ordinary cultural constraints that currently prevail deterring the kinds of
education to make available to women and devilling it is highly problematic.
There is no means a consensus that women should be educated in the traditional sense
of the term. In fact even those who are sensitive and concerned about the matter talk
frequently in terms of vocational training, not education, sewing, knitting and cooking
are not education of them but are supplements to it, valuable certainly but
nevertheless supplements.
2.3
Educated woman can always prove themselves as good mother, under whoses care
children are capable of useful citizen of the state. In fact no nation has ever reached
the height of glory unless her woman are educated. Uneducated woman are generally
superstitions. Consequently their children become cowardly and developed many
psychological complexes. Illitrate woman fail to look after their children properly.
This causes many pre mature deaths that bring misries to thousand families. Educated
woman generally prove to be good wives. They are able to keep balanced economy
and saves their husband to unnecessary worries. If the husband dies, she can manage
to bring up their children by adopting the profession of a teacher, a nurse etc. some
people think that the aim of female education should be prepare women for
independent carriers and that matrimony should not be the sole aim but only one of
the aim of their lives. Women make better teacher than man. In our school, there
should more women than men as the former always more sympathetic children,
studying under their care. They prove to be more efficient than man also in nursing
and the sick and the wounded.
There is no claim in denying the fact that education plays a vital role in the progress
and development of any country. It is through education that human beings are
distinguished from the rest of the creatures of the world and it enables him or her to
enjoy a commanding position among them.
Was the first message of almighty ALLAH to Muhammad (PBUH) (Read) was the
message which clearly indicated the significance of reading, learning and education in
Islam. And the first to hear this message from the lips of the Holy prophet was his
wife, the lady Khadija with whom he shared all that was transmitted to him by
revelation. This established for all times the joint responsibility of both man and
women to learn.
Women education is the back bone of a civilized society. A women itself is an
institution, and there is an agreement among the intellectuals and scholars about the
assumption to educate a male is to educate an individual, while to educate a female is
to educate a society. Education is the right of every citizen irrespective of cast, creed
and sex. Female education is very important because in the uplifting of a civic service
amongst the citizen, where mother is educated, she can help her children in over
coming their academaic problems as well as boost them morally. Education is one of
the most striking problems of our society and we are facing difficulties and
inconveniences to run the need of families but an educated women who is good
economist can draw appropriate measures, psychologist assert that the initial five
years of every child are very important and in fact lay the foundation on which the
building of his future personality is raised. These formative years in which the child is
in highly impressionable stage are lived under the parent influence of his mother.
Educated mothers increase the effectiveness of public health services and substitute
for them where none are available. Educated mothers also see the value of educating
their children and can teach their children basic literacy. Educated mothers are known
to be more conscious of health, hygiene sanitation and child care procedure. They are
less resistant to new ideas and better informed of available developmental options,
legal, social rights and the
Female education is also necessary for the education of girls at schools and colleges,
which could save the female students to be taught by the great teachers in coeducation environment. The womens participation in education, sports, jobs and her
fields on equal footings with men has increased confidence and moral aptitude of
men. Her participation in each field has developed a sense of mutual working
relationship in people towards a common goal of achieving prosperity and
development.
Female education is important because of the following reasons.
She is well equipped with up to date knowledge and can utilize it to the best of
her advantage.
She can have a secure financial future if she is facing any kind of financial
problem.
She can utilize all the four skills to the maximum i-e listening, speaking,
reading and writing.
2.4
In consonance with the spirit of equality, the prophet of Islam constantly reminded
his followers that female children should be treated exactly in the same manner as
male. Issues prior to Islam, daughters were looked upon with disfavor and as a kind of
economic and social burden. The result was that the male members of the family
enjoyed respect which was denied to those of the sex. There were marked fair
differences in the treatment and upbringing of sons and daughters. All this was
discouraged by the holy prophet(peace be upon him) who upheld the rights of female
10
children and insisted on their being treated on footing of equality. For example,
according to a report of Ibn-e-Abbas, the prophet s cousin, he is said to have
declared:
If a daughter is born to a man and he brings her up affectionately, shows her no
disrespect and treats her in the same manner as he treats his sons, the Lord will reward
him with paradise ( Kanzul Ummal,p.277)
According to another report from Anas bin Malik the prophet said:
Girls are model of affection and sympathy and a blessing to the family, if a person
has one daughter, God will screen him for the fire of hell owing to his daughter , if he
has two daughter, God will admit him to paradise, if he has three, God will exempt
him from the obligation of charity and jehad (kanzul Ummal)
Abu Huraira, a revered companion of the prophet says:
The prophet of God that if a person has three daughter whom he provides for and
brings up, God will surely reward him with paradise
According to Abdullah Ibn-e-Masood, the prophet is reported to have said:
If a daughter is born to a person and he brings her up, gives her a good education and
trains her in the art of life, I shall myself stand between him and hell-fire (Kanzul
Ummal, p.277)
The prophet went so far as to declare:
A person who has a female slave in his charge and takes steps to give her a sound
education and trains her in art and culture, and then fees her and marries her, he will
be doubly rewarded (Bukhari Kitabunnikah)
There is no doubt that the prophet encouraged woman in the spirit of understanding
and enquiry. His wife, Ayesha, was herself a very learned woman and during the reign
of the first fair caliphs her advice, even on political matters, was eagerly sought by the
rulers of islam on Islamic jurisprudence she was and still regarded as a great authority.
11
In this collection of tradition, Muslim reports that Ayesha praised the woman of Ansar
for their spirit of enquiry and learning, saying:
How praiseworthy are the woman of Ansar that their modesty does not prevent them
from attempts at learning and the acquisition of knowledge (Muslim Kitabuttaharat)
In the early days of islam we get the shining name of Hazrat Bibi Ayesha Siddiqua
who appeared to be first systematic lady teacher in the history of Muslim education.
After the historical hijrat to Madina the Holy prophet himself established the
administration of instruction in which female education had a privileged
position.Once a week prophet was attending the assembly of Muslim ladies and
imparted the instructions by himself. He was replying all their questions and solving
their academic problems. It is in the tradition that once our prophet asked one learned
lady, to teach one of his harems.
2.5
12
2 Umm-e-salamah Zainab was one ofv the greatest jurists of her time.
3 Such was the case of knowledge and learning of the daughter of Imam Malik (R.A)
when his pupils made any mistake while learning Muwatta, she used to knock on the
door from inside her room. Imam Malik (R.A) had so much confidence in her
memory that he used to say (to the pupils) report it you are making a mistake.
4 One of the major factors which affect the female education in the rural set up is that,
people having very little knowledge about religion and Islamic history, consider
education of women to be un-islamic and unethical while in the life of the prophet
(PBUH) both women and men attended prophets mosque, to learn knowledge from
him. They also went to his home to get their questions answered about daily routine
matters. Especially prophet of ALLAH (PBUH) appreciated the boldness and
inquisitiveness of Ansar women.
2.6
-Al-Ghazali, the famous Muslim scholar and philosopher strongly claim, Islam
provided women with everything, freedom, economic rights, political rights, public
and private rights, though these rights were unfortunately not manifest in Islamic
societies.
-Sir Syed Ahmad Khan emphasized that, for the development of a national cultural
and civilization the education of women is essential.
-Allama Iqbal, the scholar, philosopher and national poet stressed the place
accorded to women in Muslim society today was derogatory both to human dignity
and to islam itself.
-Maulana Maududi, upholds the golden principle of Islamic teaching with regard to
women education, women should not be openly left, and they should be educated on
equal footing along with men but in separate institution. Co-education is a
problematic term in itself. It leads to the licentiousness of both sexes and goes against
13
the norms and teaching of islam. If women energies are to be properly channelized
they should be educated in separate institutions.
-Dr .Israr Ahmad, comments on the women status that a true Islamic state meant the
total segregation of the two sexes and the seclusion of women in their homes. He
debarred all the female students from co-education institutions as it could lead to
social disintegration, educational hazards, moral degeneration and political
backwardness in the state. Separate institution should set up for women folk across
the state.
-Justice (Retd) Aftab Hussain, comments that in co-education the sexes are at large,
and without caring the Islamic injunction about PURDAH. So, creates multi facet
problems in this way. Therefore separate University must be established.
-Durrani, F.K.K, is of the opinion that in co-education female students confront
several problems that is lack of participation in sports and games and auricular
activities, less opportunities of tour, less discussion with male teachers, feeling of
inferiority complex among female students. So separate institution is set up and
women be properly trained in congenial and peaceful atmosphere.
-Professor Rafiullah comments that co-education contributes to make our young
men and young women responsible citizen, it creates a sense of socialization. In this
respect they refer to co-education in some of the prestigious institution like
Government College Lahore, which is giving positive results.
Higher education is the basic right of every women and no one should be deprived of
it. In co-education problems are but much more less as compared to other institutions.
It creates a sense of collaboration and team spirit in sexes
-Professor Dr. Mohammad Amin comments, In co-education administration
confronts no hurdle, parents can meet any time with their daughters without
hesitation. They have free access to these institutions.
-Ghulam Nabi Saqib, speaks about the multidimensional aspects in co-education. He
comments, Today women have gone tremendous changes in acquiring her

In the 13th century the west was not as developed as it is today. It was passing through
a dark age. The educational rate was very low in general and especially the women
education was highly low. Women was deprived of her civil rights. Education was
only for man and woman was restricted to home. With passage of time awareness
developed in the woman and parents and they started struggle for education. They
made sacrifice and today we see that man and woman are equal. They have been
equal civil rights and especially education is must for every one regardless of sex.
Platos View (427-347)
He says that up to the age of six years children of both sexes may play together. After
this age, they should be separated.
Let boys line with boys and girls in like manner with girls
Such is the scheme of education presented by Plato in the Republic. Plato prescribed
the same kind of education for women also. Women were have the same training and
education, a training in music and gymnastic and in the art of war, which they must
practice like men.
Plato said, For you must no of suppose what I have been saying applies to men only
and not to women as for as their nature can go.
He admitting that physically woman is weaker than man, he nevertheless mountains
that with regard to political and governing ability the woman is the equal of man.

2.8
Pakistan inherited a colonial educational structure on its creation, and inspite of the
rational objectives stated by the successive governments to make it respond to the
national need, the education system in Pakistan today cannot claim to be much
different from the inherited model, either in structure or in practice. Socio-economic
demands have been re-working a discourse of education more oriented to the political
and economic considerations rather than Islamic philosophy. At the end of the
colonial rule, Islamic Republic of Pakistan stood lacing the tensions between the
Islamic philosophy of education and economy on the one hand and non-Islamic
concept of education and economy on the other, in a context of pressing globalization.
Despite the fact that Islam provides equal opportunities for the education of men and
women, female education in Pakistan has been grossly neglected. Cosidering that
female from more than 50% of our population and their education has tremendous
multiplying potential, high priority was not given to the rapid expansion of female
education at all levels. Female education has, therefore, suffered from an abysmally
16
low level of courage. This has resulted in a continuing illiteracy and ignorance among
the female masses, which in turn has hindered the development of clean, healthy and
disease free home environment and the up bringing of properly educated and
adequately nourished children. The society at large can only reap fruits of its efforts to
the extent it has invested in the education of its female. This neglect is contrary to the
injunctions of Islam, which makes it obligatory for each man and woman of faith to
seek knowledge.
So apart from the government, strong social and cultural prejudice, rigour of customs,
traditions and religious all affected the women education by the idea of separate
facilities for male and female. Primary grades were already segregated expect in large
cities. In fact, only a small minority of primary school age girls attended school, much
less than or boys. Many rural parents do not see the need or the appropriateness of
education for girls. Most secondary schools and colleges are also segregated. Only
universities are integrated.
Opinion on the subject of the womens University differ widely. The idea was not
put forward on the basis of its educational merits. Advocates offer either religious or
sociological justification.
The argument holds that separate facilities are required by Islam or consistent with it.
Those who oppose the idea contend that Islam has nothing to do with womens
education or that segregation of the sexes is contrary to Islam. Some people speak of
the dangers of mixing among boys and girls. Such un necessary mingling of the
sexes is considered a violation of social customs the integrity of which is tied to
religion. Support is also voiced by those who feel women would benefit by being free
from discrimination and the unwanted attention of man. Complete segregation of the
sexes, similar to that in Saudi Arabia is not possible in Pakistan. There is a significant
percentage of the population which has a different experience and which possess non
traditional view. They would likely resist efforts to restrict their behavior thus adding
to social tentions.
17
2.9
Even the dawn of the new millennium, the educational opportunities for girls and
women remains distinctly below those open to boys and men. And this is true not only
in quantitative terms, but also in qualitative terms. On 7 November 1967 the united
nation adopted the declaration of the elimination of discrimination against women,
article 3 stipulate.
All appropriate measures shall be taken to educate public opinion and to direct
national aspiration towards the eradication of prejudice and the abolition of customary
and all other practice which are based on the idea of the inferiority of women.
Women do not enjoy all the opportunities they should have and often do not have any
at all. Nearly every where in the world they are less educated than men. The majority
of illiterate are women.
Once women had access to education there would be no problem in regard to their
rights and those same rights could become harmful if women were incapable of
exercising them. The inferior status of women is linked to their traditional role. This is
an inside role within the limits of the family home.
Women are as much human beings as men. She is equally entitled to develop her
abilities, all the activities, and assume all the responsibilities that go to make up
human dignity like work or scientific and economic progress. Education is a matter
for the whole mankind for men and women alike and not for one of the two sexes
only (Rao, 2006).

examination. This can never be said an ideal education. It is only a track to walk on
for employment which can not be said a real aim of education. Our present system of
formal education is an alien system of education imposed by Lord Macauly for
acculturating the Indians. As such for molding the women to do or perform their
desirable life roles, there is a need to educate the girls about the desirable ideal
women life roles. For achieving this end, there is need to inculcate certain life habits
and qualities in the girls in the initial stages first at home and later on in the school.
Self-learning by the girls would be women, through observation, thinking, reasoning
analyzing, comprehending and by driving influence is very necessary. Reading,
writing and remembering which is done through teaching in school and other
educational institution can be helpful in learning ideal roles of the live of girls. Now
the main sources of women education are educational institution. So it is necessary
that women should also be taught about their life roles first in girls school and later on
by the other educational institution, like college, polytechnics and engineering
colleges. This can only be done if the teachers of all these institutions are also
educated about the womens life building role. The teacher education should look to
this important women educational aspect. Only a few teachers training college are
equipped to impart such education to teachers trainees. So first the teaching staff
should be trained about the women life roles, then only other sources of teacher
training can be helpful in this regard(Prasad, 2006).

In view of the commission women in Pakistan has been playing effective role in
raising their status, their family and the nation. The role of all Pakistan women
association (APWA) was a case in point. Pakistan needed educated women. The task
was enormous because special problems will have to be included in women
education. Therefore it was thought desirable by the commission to consider the
education of women separately. The commission forwarded recommendations at
various levels for the education of women.
a.
Primary education was the first step in the educational programme. The main
objective of the programme was to prepare a large number of women for teaching
medicine, nursing and wide variety of careers. The commission proclaimed that all
these professions should be secured.
It was essential that Foundation of Education should be established. According to this
policy the facilities provided for girls should be equal to those provided for boys.
20
It was further maintained by the commission that women were temperamentally well
suited to develop the characters and capabilities of young children. So the qualified
women teachers should be appointed to teach the first three classes at primary level.
b.
Secondary Education
It was the middle stage of education on wards that girls according to the report needs

and girls. Subjects of particular wearing be introduced. After class 8 th then these
would be the first major diversion and girls should be guided either into secondary
school or into vocational schools offering causes suited their aptitude and interest.
Moreover the diversification of subjects such as typing stenography and book keeping
food, technology including dietetics, creating management textile design etc.

The participation rate at various levels of education is minimal. But the progress in
the education of universalization of primary education is far from satisfactory. The
women participation in education is minimal.
Women education and raising the literacy ratio has been difficult areas to tackle,
social, cultural and economic factors have put off the women participation rate.
Different types of incentives are needed to educate them through non-formal and
formal extensions.
Raising literacy rate is another equally challenging task. Universalization of primary
education has remained a desired goal of successive policies and plans. Unfortunately
it has not been achieved. The limitations which have obstructed universalization,
include a low female participation rate (because of insecurity of girls students and
distance of homes from schools).
In the KPK participation rate (primary level) is 60% for males and 75% for female. In
areas where women participation is low, special incentives based programmes will be
22
4.
to make a shift
in the hitherto used approaches in education of female both in the formal and nonformal sectors. Accordingly increase access of female to general and vocational
education through a wider spread of education facilities, use of mix of non-formal and
distance education modes based on new education technology, expansion of nongovernmental sector through financial incentives and motivation campaigns through
prints and broadcast media, among others are the measures which will form the basis
of new policy parameters. To ensure 100% of participation of co-education at the
primary level by the year 2002 and to eradicate illiteracy through formal and nonformal modes of education.
Universalization of primary education has remained a desired goal of successive
policies and plans. The limitations which have obstructed universalization include low

Elementary education is the fundamental right of all people men and women. The
average private rate of return is 29% at primary level. Similarly, the social rate of
return is 27% at primary, 16% at secondary and 13% at the tertiary level. Education
and empowerment of girls and women are key factors contributing to social
development, well being and education of parents and future generation. Certainly, it
is more expensive and costly to keep a girl illiterate and uneducated than educating
her. Unfortunately girls and women have less than equal opportunity to participate in
education. At present the total number of primary schools in the public sector are
about 1.45.000 including about 37.000 mosques schools. One third of primary schools
are female schools. In addition 7.177 non-formal basic education schools are run by
the Prime Minister literacy commission. About 33% schools are under utilized.
Moreover, there is a considerable number of ghost schools across the country.
However around 11.000 high school in the country also provide middle level
education. Total number of educational institutions for middle level education in the
public sector is 26.000. A Total of 33.9.500 teachers in the public sector are teaching
at the primary level. 35% approximately or 11.7.600 are female teachers. The

Jone Johnson lewis (1994) comparison of data for men and women reveals
significant disparity in educational attainment. By 1992, among people older
than fifteen years age, 22 percent of women were literate, compared with 49
percent of men. The comparatively slow rate of improvement for women is
reflected in the fact that between 1980 and 1989, among women aged fifteen
to twenty-four, 25 percent were literate. United Nations sources say that in
1990 for every 100 girls of primary school age there were only thirty in
school, among girls of secondary school age, only thirteen out of 100 were in
school, and among girls of the third level, grades nine and ten, only 1.5 out of
100 were in school. Slightly higher estimates by National Education council
for 19190 stated that 2.5 percent of students, 3 percent of men and 2 percent of
women, between the ages of seventeen and twenty one were enrolled at the
degree level. Among all people over twenty five in 1992, women averaged a
mere 0.7 year of schooling compared with an average of 2.9 years for men.
5.
Dr. Humala Shabeen and Dr. Eshya Mujahid (2002) reported that, the role of
media is extra ordinary in the development of education, especially in non
formal education programs. The trends of media in portraying women have
changed over the last few years, and the media is coming up as a strong
supporter of women in Pakistan. Foe over a decade, various drama serials have
been focusing on the issues of womens status and their role in society. They
have highlighted many major issues womens health and reproductive health,
womens/girls education and employment, their increased work load and
domestic violence against women. This has created increased awareness
amongst the public about the constraints faced by women and girls in the
society.
6.
Saleha Parveen (2008) stated that in fact the progress of any society largely
depends on the effectiveness of its educational system and the best educational
26
system is that which gives equal opportunities of getting education to all its
members. Female literacy plays a very significant and crucial role in the
development of nation especially in the economic development of a country.
But female education in Pakistan, its status and standard particularly is at the
lowest ebb. Thousands of girls otherwise intelligent and capable enough to
get education, but are deprived of because of multifarious socio-cultural and
economic reasons and gender prejudices. Due to this reason they are unable to
play active role in the development of society. This study reflects the views of
women activist about the role of females in national development and suggests
necessary measures for improvement of the situation.
7.
Aamir Latif stated that the picture of illiteracy in Pakistan is grim. Although
successive governments have announced various programmes to promote
literacy, especially among women, they have been unable to translate their
words into action because of various political, social and cultural obstacles.
8.
9.
UNICEF (2005) stated that around the world 100 million primary school age
children do not go to school, two third of them are girls. Even those who do
attend school may leave before they reach grade five. Poverty, inequality and
culture are the main reasons children do not go to school. Parents may be too
poor to buy enough food to keep their children healthy, let alone pay school
fees and for uniforms and books. Children may also be sick or needed at home
to care for younger siblings or grandparents, or they may have to help the
family earn an income. Sometimes schools are too far away or very crowded,
27
there are not enough teachers or those who are available might not be well
trained or rapid. Sometimes teachers themselves may not be at school because
they have to earn a living elsewhere.
10.
Qadir Bukhsh (2007) wrote that education is regarded as the key factor in
overcoming the barriers that women face and the basic tool for empowering
women and bringing them into the main stream of development. Education not
only provides knowledge and skills to improve health and livelihood, but it
empowers women to take their right place in the society and development
process. Education gives status and confidence in decision making. Educating
women is the key to reducing poverty.

Interview is an oral communication between two persons, where one asks some
orderly organized questions and the other gives direct responses
The tool which is used for the collection of data is interview. In this research
interviews were taken from the individuals (fathers) in the area of Ghareeb-Abad. The
interview schedule was formulated through the consultation of my supervisor.
Interview schedule was designed in order to collect the relevant information. Research
study was based upon the importance of daughter Education and to know the paternal
attitude about education of their daughters.
3.7
Interview was used as a tool for collecting the data. Interview was semi structured to
know the attitudes of fathers with bit depth. Interview for this study was appropriate
because the responses and experiences of fathers could not be find out through
questionnaire which is not flexible. The responses of different fathers may be different
and we can not restrict them only to a fixed structured questionnaire. The semi
structured interview was used to collect the information. The houses were visited.
Initially rapport were developed with fathers in 2-3 meetings and after that interviews
were conducted.

DATA ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to know the paternal attitude about education of
their daughters. The study was delimited to area of Ghareeb-Abad District Peshawar.
Accidental sampling was done in the area of Ghareeb-Abad. For sampling, 20
samples were taken from the area of Ghareeb-Abad. All samples were male. It is a
qualitative research and the tool which is used for the collection of data is interview.
Interviews were taken from males (fathers). The analysis of data as prescribed in the
following lines.
4.1
FAMILY SIZE
This question was about the number of children (family size) during interview
it was noted that especially in the rural areas, families to have a fairly large number of
children. In majority of families the average number of their children were from 4 to
10 which indicate the effect of the finances required for education often proves to be
too much for many families. In many families the large family size was said to be the
result of traditional attitudes, an example of which is a source of free labour and a
source of security during parents old age. In such families the use of family planning
is forbidden resulting in families having large numbers of children. In was noted that
in majority case large family size is also the main hurdle in the way of daughters
education because due to large family size the economic resources are limited and the
parents were unable to provide the good quality of education to their all children.
4.2
and a daughter is given the basic and important right to education. Majority of fathers
were strictly in favors of daughter education. According to these fathers, education is
very much essential for girls to survive in the society. They believe that education
makes girls wise and provide economic security to girls and makes girls confident.
33
According to them education enable the girls to face all the challenges of life.
Majority of the fathers said that education is todays basic need a person whether male
or female is nothing (has no social status or value) without it. Some of the fathers
believe that children become more obedient through education. In other words,
education is believed to play a positive role in their behaviors towards parents. It
indicted that fathers will like schooling for their daughter because they are likely to
value obedience by their daughters. These perceptions of fathers about daughters are
positive and are likely to contribute towards raising school enrolment in the area.
Some parents said that they are greatly in favors of daughters education but
they face some problems from their family members and elders, for example father,
brother etc. thats why they didnt give admission to their daughters or cant continue
their education.
4.3
EFFECT OF POVERTY
It was also noted that in families where girls education was not valued, the
issue of poverty is the main hurdle in the way of educating girls. Majority of the
fathers had the great desire to educate their daughters but due to lack of finances they
cant educate their daughters according to their desires and wishes. Financial
problems and poverty when faced by these fathers in the area, they choose and prefer
to educate only boys.
Those families where fathers were ware of the importance of education of
girls, enrolment levels were still low due to their inability to meet the costs of
education. They are unable to afford the expenses of education. It was pointed out by
fathers that the high cost of education coupled with the poor economy, had made it
difficult to provide an education for all the children regardless of sex.
4.4
PARDAH SYSTEM
Question was asked about the pardah system in the area from the fathers that
whether strict pardah system is the main hurdle or cause of deprivation of girls from
getting education. In response to this question the fathers have different views. Some
34
of the fathers give importance to pardah. They were religious minded people. They
strongly favour pardah due to their Pakhtoon cultural tradition because in Pakhtoon
society they greatly emphasize the female pardah. Some fathers said that pardah is not
an obstacle in the way of female education. If the character of girls is strong, then
there is no bad effect of the environment on girls.
Some of the family members especially elder brothers or girls uncle consider it
a sin to send their daughters and sisters to school. Such father added that home is the
only safe place for the female. According to them the most important education for
the daughter is to teach them the Holy Quran I home easily therefore it is not
necessary to send them to school for getting school education
On the other hand some fathers have different view. They said that pardah is
not a hinder. Islam never forbidden the girls from educating they strongly oppose the
views of those fathers who consider female education un-important. Those fathers
said that they know very well about the day to day changes which is brought by
education in their lives and the atmosphere is also good in the area for female
education.
4.5
girls, majority of the fathers have positive approach towards daughter education. In
their views educated daughter can play an important and beneficial role in the society.
They can lead useful life. They said that educate a woman is to educate the nation and
an educated mother best look after her child in best way.
4.6
WASTAGE OF MONEY
In response of this question majority of fathers didnt agree to those who
consider the education of girl is the wastage of money. They consider the girls
education more beneficial for fathered life. Education can make them useful citizen
who cant support both of the families (husband family and mothers or her own
family) financially in difficult economic situations.
35
Those fathers said that some of their family members for example father or
elder brother have the attitude that educating girl is a wastage of money because they
will eventually be marled off and their education would therefore only benefit their
husbands and the families they marry into speneling money on the girls education
would thus be considered lost to the girls family.
4.7
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
According to majority at the respondent, the majority of the respondent, the
main problem is the insufficiency of proper educational institutions in the area. Due to
which most of the girls do not get education. The study also shows that there are very
few educational institutions present but they are not in a good conditions. There is no
proper school building, not sufficient trained teachers and also the behaviour of
teachers are not good and they oftenly imposed carporal punishment on student.
Because of these reasons majority of the parents do not send their daughters to school
and prefer to engage them most of the in home activities like washing cloth, cooking,
cleaning and care of their younger siblings.
4.8
the deprivensess of daughters from education in the area. These are the following.
a.
Illiteracy
It is clear that one of the cause of depriveness of girls education in village
36
hand the family members and elders were in the favor of early marriage of daughter
and they consider that female education is the wastage of money and time.
4.9
greatly against the girls education. And they give more preference to boys education
rather than girls. They consider that only religious education is better for girls and
there is no need to provide school education to girls. In some cases the family member
allows girls to educate the girls up to class 5 th only and not girl value to their further
education and instead of school education they give preference to only madrassa and
religious education. These family members consider that home is the only place for
girls which provide safety and security to girls, as it is a common thought in pathan
society because in pathan society majority of the people are conservative mind and
they dont like to send their daughter to schools that are far away from their homes.
They consider that female education is against pakhtoon cultural and traditions and
pathan people are strictly bound to their traditions and they can not deviate from their
norms and values.
37
38
activities for girls because this priority is likely to have an impact on their education.
Some fathers said that it is better for girls to engage in house hold activities and help
their mothers in home rather than going to school while on the other hand majority of
fathers favour female education and it is the responsibility of mothers only to perform
home activities and give much opportunity for daughters to done their home work. It
was also noted these home activities were after performed by girls either early in the
morning before school going or in the evening after school so this effect girls
education in a number of ways.
The number of hours spend performing hours spent performing house hold
activities and other task means that girls have little time and energy left to
devote to the academic work.
Girls are often late for school in the morning as a result at having to complete
their house hold activities because girls are responsible for such a diverse
number of household tasks, some fathers prefer to keep their daughters at
home.

CONCLUSION
Female education has been a controversial and difficult subject, since the very day, it
was introduced in sub continent as a part of our existing system of education. Due to
poverty, socio-cultural problems, traditional and rigid attitudes of parents and the
elders, female of our country is unable to play their active role in development of the
society. After the analysis of the collected data, it becomes clear that majority of the
fathers are in the favor of female education. They are eager to equip their daughter
with education but there are also some hurdles which have negative impact on female
education. Schools at far off places, conservation and the rigid customs and traditions
are some of the major factors due to which the parents (fathers) are not ready to equip
their daughters with education. The higher education for females remain a dream in
most of the cases. The government has no useful hand in the promotion of female
education. Most of the female teachers are not willing to come to school for teaching
which are far away from homes. As a result such schools lack the female staff for
teaching. The schools present in the area are not well equipped with sufficient
facilities. The other thing is that, majority of the population is belong to middle class,
due to which they are unable to afford the educational expenses of their children.
After carrying out the research, we concluded that the area was having poor literacy
rate. Literacy rate of female education is very low.
In the final analysis it was concluded that the task of improvement of female
education is gigantic and it requires our continued efforts with determination to solve
the problems related to it. In oder to improve female education, as a first and basic
41
step, it is essential to change or improve the attitude of the family members and also
the community peoples attitudes towards the social and educational status of females
by emphasizing Islamic teachings.
In the connection public and private sector as well as media should also play their
positive role for the improvement of the situation. Unless as a nation we improve our
system of education in general and female education in particular. The dream of an
educated, strong and prosperous Pakistan will remain unfulfilled.
5.3
RECOMMENDATIONS:
On the basis of the study findings and personal observation of the researcher the
following suggestions are extended in order to improve the female education in the
area.
The study reveals that parents (fathers) attitude also effect the daughters
education. Hence in this regard it is suggested to change the attitude of those
parents (fathers) who are not in favour of daughter education. Hence the
parents (fathers) positive attitude will boost the female literacy rate, so for this
purpose social mobilization programmes should be launched to change the
parents (fathers) views regarding the value of education of girls.
Poverty was existing in the area and a lot of parents were not be able to bear
the expenses of education for their daughters. In this regard tangible incentives
should be provided to parents (fathers) so that they may educate their
daughters. Financial support should be provided in the form of scholarships,
fee concessions, free books, uniform and accommodations.
In the target area existing institutions were not enough and existing institutions
were having long distance from student residence. It is suggested that more
educational institutions for girls should be provided in the target area so that
the ratio of girls in education should be enhanced.
The study area is still under influence of traditional values. There is a concept
that women should be confined to the four walls of house otherwise they will
42
violate the cultural values. This factor is also responsible for low literacy ratio
among the females. Mass awairness
education for daughter should be started. It would be for great help if religious
leaders should be to play an important role in this compaign because they
possess a strong hold in the area.
Pardah remained one of the obstacles in the way of female education and it
was considered a religious and cultural issue. In this regard it is suggested that
separate educational institutions for girls should be established so that the
women of the area may be facilitated to obtain education in pardah and they
are not deprived from education.
In the target area majority of the parents had more children. Due to more
number of children the parents cannot afford the expenses of the education of
all the children. In this regard it is suggested that the parents should be made
aware of family planning programs and spirit of upbringing minimum
children, so that all the children whether they are male or female are not
deprived from education.
The study depicts that early marriages were a big hurdle in daughter
education and some of the parents were not taking interest in female education
because after marriages the daughter leave the parents home and hence they
thought that their education would not given them some economic benefits.
They should be made aware of the benefits of daughter education by telling
them that since they will one day be mothers of the next generations. They
must be educated to pass on this knowledge to their children, who are one of
the first beneficiaries of an educated mother. It is recommended that early
marriage should be motivated and made aware of the importance of daughter
education.
Mass media can play a vital role in education. It is suggested that better
educational programs about female on T.V and Radio be broad casted so that
the people may become aware of the benefits of female education. Also the
43
print media such as news paper should play its due role by publishing various
supplements and articles highlighting the benefits of female education. hence
such programs may play a positive role in moulding the attitude of parents
towards daughter education.
In the research area it was observed that a lot of parents were not sending their
children for education because of lack of proper facilities at school. Either the
school had lack of teacher or the available staff was not attending the school
regularly. There was no check on the teachers attendance. They were not
taking interest in imparting education to their students. Hence to boost the
female education staff should be proper check and balance on the performance
and duties of teachers. Hence it will lead to the improvement of female
education in the area and will also compel the parents to send their daughters.
