Lack of Education in Pakistan

Lack of education is one problem that needs to be solved as only it can lead to a brighter future for Pakistan. The problems concerning education our numerous but this article is concerning Gender Disparity and how education of girls is thought as something that will lead to the doom of Pakistan, instead of it progression by the Talibans.

Gender Disparity in Education is majorly affected by the new era of Talibans and terrorism. Talibans enforced a complete ban on female education in the Swat District. At a stroke, 60 girls were deprived of their education, joining countless others across Pakistan with little chance of ever going to school. That was six years ago. Today an old blackboard, laced by a cat's cradle of silver cobwebs, preserves that last lesson inside a silent classroom.

Now terrorism is something that the Government of Pakistan is trying its best to solve but the awareness od education can actually stop this spread of terrorism.The Taliban movement was born in Pakistan's madrassas, giving these institutions a reputation as factories for extremism, dedicated to brainwashing their pupils and turning out terrorist recruits. And so by educating the future generation of Pakistan (which includes both girls and boys) we can stop this extremism and rise of Taliban.
