Why I think it is important for women to get an education?

Many people and especially in our society don't think that it is important for women to get educated. They think that it is a right for men only. They might think so that because a woman will have a better education she will have a better upgraded status and thus will have more power. And this power might interfere with men's power and authority. And this point really irritates me, and get me mad! I get furious when people(especially men) disapprove of a women getting a good education, for reason that are purely shallow. I see that there is a major and great value when a women is educated.

 
Personally, I think that an educated woman is a woman that has more knowledge, and skills. She is able to think better and think more efficiently. This will make her have a better understanding of what is right and what is wrong because they will have mingled and socialized with others. An educated woman provides better support for her kids. She is able to help them more mentally and emotionally. In addition, to protect and aware them more about the dangers of the outer world. Because she has seen them, and might have lived them, and can teach them what she has learned from them, so that they don't have to fall in the same mistakes.

Look at this in this way. When a woman is more educated, she will know how to protect and defend herself in a better way. She will be able to stand on her own feet without relying on anyone. She will be able to support and provide things that she needs for herself by herself. She will have control over herself. And this is what is frightening for some men: that their wife won't rely on them to live, and thus they feel threatened.

As the famous arabic proverb:" The mother is a school, preparing her well is like preparing a good nation. An educated woman will make a better society. It is a key for a brighter future. She will produce a better educated society. As the woman will have a great effect on her children , who will have a better education. And these children in return will affect their children's education as well. As any knowledgeable person can see that an educated women has less children than a non-educated woman, which leads to poverty. Because there are more mouths to feed, and same income (and if not less). Educated women will even have better health and hygiene awareness!

An educated woman can and will be able to participate in the different jobs and careers just like any other man, going into politics, business, and engineering... This will lead to an increased income. Then she, and her husband will be able to provide a better environment for their children to grow up, providing the best qualities to ensure their best up bringing.

Therefore, we can see how an educated women can help in everything, her own self, family and even society. Therefore, it is really important to encourage young girls and enlighten them about the importance of having a good education, because it will help them in many different ways in their life, and their future children's life! I say yes to educating women, and I say yes to spreading knowledge and education across all people, no matter of gender, race, or religion!
