Female Education in Bangladesh

Female Education in Bangladesh

Education is a light to which everybody has the equal right. Allah has created both man and women equally and has not drawn any distinct distinction between them. He has bestowed them with equal facilities. So there should be no difference of opinion regarding imparting education to women.

A good mother can produce a good citizen. In order to have good citizen, female education is a must.

Female education is not a new thing in our country. Islam has encouraged education and training to women folk. The prophet of Islam has made education compulsory for both men and women. Once Nepoleon said, “Give me a good mother and I will give you a good citizen”. A good mother obviously means an educated mother. So it needs no telling the importance of female education.

Bangladesh in retrospect

The most significant event for Bangladesh in the last century has been its birth as an independent nation. Prior to that, it experienced British colonial rule until 1947, followed by an oppressive existence as East Pakistan from 1947 to 1971.

The life of our people has often been shaped by tragedy. Floods have devastated our land and tidal waves from the sea have swept away thousands of lives. Poverty has been an ever-present specter. As a result, nearly seventy percent of the population suffer from carious degrees of malnutrition. Rapid population growth has added to this problem. Although the growth rate has slowed down to some extent, the population has almost doubled since independence.

The last century in retrospect

The last century is over, but it will not be forgotten. Many events have taken place during these years that have embellished and enriched human life. There have been significant advances in scientific achievement and technological development including immense progress in medical science. Lately, a revolution in information technology has taken the world by storm.

In ideological terms, the twentieth century has been marked by the independence of many former European colonies in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The struggle for democracy in different parts of the world including Bangladesh has been momentous. It saw the division of Germany after the second World War, and its subsequent reunification in the eighties. The process of reunification evident here has also been echoed in other regions. The century also witnessed the rise of socialism, and the creation of super powers opposed in ideologies. However, the end of the cold war and the collapse of socialism have eased the major powers into a unipolar position.

On the other hand, conflict has deepened. The world has experienced some of the worst events in history during this time. Misuse of atomic energy has wreaked destructor. Two World Wars have recorded the worst sufferings in human history- Hiroshima and Nagasaki bear testimony to this. Conflict and strife worldwide has increased. It has seen the Vietnam war, the Gulf War , the war in Lebanon, and in many parts of Africa causing widespread death and destruction. Terrorism too is sadly on the rise.

Indeed several other things have also caused endless human misery. Poverty, hunger, malnutrition, uncontrolled population growth and high mortality rates have been common features in the poorer countries. Environmental pollution, global warning, contaminated drinking water and the AIDS epidemic are many of the major problems that we have inherited from the decades that have gone by. And yet, despite these dark aspects, the last century will remain memorable in terms of positive terms of positive human achievement……..

Visiting Bangladesh: ( Tips for Foreigners )

Welcome to you for Visiting our country.  Come and see………

At the airport:

At the airport, there are taxis and aot-rickshaws called babi-taxis, but you have to bargain for the fare. They demand three or four times more than the usual fare, even more when they see foreigners, especially Europeans. Taxicab services have been introduced but many taxis do not use meters and therefore you may be overcharged.

Driving:

It is difficult to drive in Bangladesh if you have no experience of driving here. Drivers change lanes frequently. As a foreigner you might find lane-changing without signals quite distressing. Many people do not follow traffic signals. Rickshaws and babi-taxis move in and out in zigzag course and try to push through wherever they find some space.
