Literacy for tribal girls

2015-11-11
EDUCATION is the fundamental right of every citizen in Pakistan. Unfortunately gender discrepancies that are in some cases startling continue to plague the education sector.

In our part of the country which happens to be Utman Khel in Bajaur Agency, girlskeen on acquiring education face an uphill task.

This is extremely difficult for them owing to the numerous problems they face because of the peculiarities of our society and a host of other issues.

Most girls in Bajaur Agency can and do study up to the primary level. Thereafter, there are hardly any institutions that offer high school education.

The few odd girls` high schools that are functioning face many drawbacks. They have no proper building, no clean water and no security and otherfacilities.

The authorities are requested to do more for girls education in Bajaur Agency.
