Question

a debate in favour of(education of a girl child is burden)

Answer 1

This debate is available in the MCB annexure pages, however I am posting it here for your convenience.

Respected Chairperson, Honorable judges, members of staff and friends, I stand here to express my views for the motion: Education of the girl child is a burden. I would like to state that the education of the girl child is indeed a burden. In a poor family the education of the girl child comes outside the purview of the budget. When the resources are limited, the priority areas have to be fixed. In a poor family feeding all the members, clothing them and looking after their health is of primary concern to the head of the family. The rest of the resources of the family should be devoted to the education of the boys in the family. Later on if the boy is going to be the head of the family and will be the bread winner, he should be properly educated and groomed to take on the mantle. So, Sir, I feel that in such a case the education of the girl child will be a burden. Even if a girl child is educated and given the right kind of grooming, one day or the other, she might leave the family nest and get married. So in that case, why should the family divert its precious resources in that direction? I feel that those resources should also be utilized for the boys so that they can come up in their life. Further, when the girl child stays at home she can look after and manage the house and learn to do all the household chores. If the girl starts going out of the house to attend school, college etc., who will do all the household work? Her duty later on in life is to look after the family and take care of the children. If she does not do that and is away from home for long periods, that will be an additional burden on the house. So I feel that by educating the girl child the family will be inviting trouble and it should utilize its precious resources as economically as possible I support the motion that the education of the girl child is a burden.

Girls education is equally important as that of boys education. It is necessary for the development of a country since a country doesn't constitute of boys. A society needs equal balance between girls and boys education and that can be only done when both are educated.

There are certain places in our country where girls are not educated thinking that it will go waste. People only focus on boys education because they think girls will get married and go to their husband's house, then what is the need for it. But by educating a girl they can actually educate two families.

But they are not aware of the fact of educating a girl. Educating a girl means development of country, share of burden over families, social awareness, knowledge of their rights and so on. So we should educate the girl child.
