Failed education in Afghanistan
A belief, in my opinion, is a choice.
Additionally, I think that no one is responsible unless a decision is made.
As a result, when the topic of education came up in Afghanistan, the government decided to place the blame for their beliefs on women's lack of education. While this decision may have some merit, it is truly not the duty of the government to base it on what women should and must be. Consequently, their decision is the issue, not their belief.
I think everyone has the right to an education, but in the US, we don't discuss how certain ideologies blame the system for the millions or thousands of dropouts. Mostly because students who choose to drop out do so since they are able to do so at the age of 16.The decision taken holds responsibility. Responsibility is made up of those decisions. You have the right to make decisions, and with that right comes responsibility.
Considering many women lack the bravery or the strength to defend themselves against those who are pressuring them to have a belief, I also think this topic deserves to be discussed more. The attitude that intelligent women should pursue careers rather than husbands and children has led me to conclude that the education system for women in Afghanistan is totally perverted. They are more than just clean laundry and dishes. In Afghanistan, just 16% of schools are exclusively for girls, and many of them lack adequate sanitary facilities, which makes it harder for students to attend. Traditional attitudes and certain sociocultural elements also work against girls' educational success. Girls still get married at an early age (17% before turning 15).These women and girls should have access to classrooms and facilities that are clean and safe, and they should not be forced into marriage at any age.
