16 -year -old Ada Imtiaz teaches her younger siblings while also studying at home. He secured first position in the Arts Group with 1020 marks in the SSC exams of the Abbottabad Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education.
Speaking to the news on Sunday, Rida shows mixed feelings about her success. Although he is proud of his success, he is also saddened by the plight of many intelligent girls in his area who had to give up his education due to lack of educational institutions.
Schools are located in remote villages scattered around the mountains, especially inaccessible to girls. The middle school is about four kilometers from its village. It can take up to 90 minutes to reach it, as the roads are in unhealthy and badraglade. Most parents do not send their daughters away because of cultural barriers and financial obstacles. Lack of access to secondary and higher secondary schools in these areas force many girls to give up their education.
“Our area is a hill. The absence of nearby high schools and colleges is a major problem. After primary schools, there is no middle school for girls. I have come from a poor family. My father is a truck driver. Given the financial situation, I can’t even think of enrolling in a college in Rawalpindi or Abbottabad.
Rida says he belongs to Bote Khord, a remote area of Abbottabad district, where educational opportunities for girls are very limited. She says she has been lucky to thank her parents’ efforts.
According to Farooq Realley, the Nazim of the Brutter Village Council, one of the main reasons for the low literacy rate among girls, is the lack of schools. He says the area is geographically isolated from the district headquarters, making it difficult for girls to go to school.
He says, “The lack of educational facilities forces girls to abandon their education soon, which often focuses on early marriages and lives on domestic work.”
Geographical isolation and poor infrastructure only promotes this problem. It is difficult for both students and teachers to reach schools from the mountain region. Cultural principles and financial difficulties also discourage many families from sending their daughters to school.
When you look at his success, Rida feels both pride and grief. She is happy that she can perform well despite all the challenges, but she regrets to know that many bright girls from her area – some of her class fellows have to give up their education because they There is no opportunity.
“My parents always encouraged me to study, even when matters were tough.”
Abbottabad District Education Officer Ayesha Saeed reported the news on Sunday, with students in the region facing challenges. She says she is giving priority to promoting women’s education.
“The lack of educational facilities forces girls to give up their education, which often focuses on early marriages and lives on domestic work.”
“There are many challenges not only for students but also for teaching staff in the uneven mountain region. It is difficult to reach schools. In many institutions, the lack of quality facilities is even more difficult for teachers to perform their duties effectively.
Saeed says the government is taking steps to solve these problems by building new schools, many of which are for girls. He says the government is also trying to improve the security and transport of female teachers.
Although the government is working to improve educational facilities, the pace of development has been slow. Local leaders and members of the community say they are hopeful that these efforts will eventually lead to more opportunities for girls in rural areas like Boylet.
Sarmad Faraz Abbasi, a human rights activist and lawyer who spoke to the news on Sunday, said he believes a multi -dimensional view is needed to deal with the educational gap in remote areas.
He said the lack of middle and high schools for girls is a major obstacle that needs immediate attention. He pointed out that without the support of parents and elders, any move to improve education would strive for success. He said he was advocating for the establishment of more schools as well as the establishment of more schools to reduce the economic burden on the backward families, as well as the establishment of transportation, financial privileges and free school equipment.
He said that many families in these areas see education as a luxury they cannot afford. Financial support can change this mentality and encourage them to send their daughters to school.
In addition to financial support, they believe that attracting and maintaining qualified teachers is very important.
Abbasi has also advised that the government should offer better privileges for teachers, such as providing a harsh area allowance, transport and residential allowance, so as to encourage to work in remote areas.
Beyond infrastructure and financial support, Abbasi highlights the importance of dealing with cultural barriers. He says that in many rural areas, girls’ education is still not a priority. He says awareness campaigns are needed to change this mentality. He advocates the involvement of local leaders and religious scholars in promoting this idea that education, especially for girls, is not only a right but also the development of the community.
He sees Rida’s success as a beacon of hope for other girls in similar situations. Rida’s story is proof that when auxiliary girls can get great things. He believes that with the permanent efforts of both the government and the community, it is possible to bring about real change and create a future where every girl, regardless of her background, provides the opportunity to get quality education.
Reada wants to be a teacher and wants to return to his community. She also wants to impress other girls to follow their dreams, no matter how difficult the journey is.
Rida’s vision reflects the growing belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and gender inequality. If the government works with private institutions and communities, the educational scenario for girls in rural areas like Baort can be changed, and to ensure that the generations of girls will be successful in Rida. There are opportunities.
