Question

Educating a girl is a burden explain

Answer 1

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.
