Abstract

Female constitute half of country population but still facing problem in almost all sectors of life in the male dominating Pakistani society. The major aim of the present study was to find out the benefits of female education as factor affecting their parent’s attitude towards education. Data for the study were collected from two hundred and fourteen (N=214) respondents belonging to two selected villages of district Bannu. A significant association was found among attitude about female education and by getting education females would become good housewives, good mothers, would be able to get better life partners, would bring up their children in a better way and could help their children in educational and social problems. Furthermore they would have job opportunities, would be socio- economically empowered, would make sensible decisions in important matters and they would be less likely to marry early. On the basis of encouraging findings of the study about expected benefits of female educations it is recommended that government and non-government organizations should keep people aware by highlighting these benefits which will ultimately motivate parents to provide education to their female children.
