Development of Women Education In India

Women education is a catch-all term for a complex set of issues and debates surrounding education system. Women education in India has also been a major preoccupation of both the government and civil society as it can play a very important role in the development of the country. It includes areas of gender equality and access to education and its connection to the alleviation of poverty. Education is a milestone of women empowerment because it enables them to suspend to the challenges, to confront their traditional role and change their life. The development of women's education in rural area is very slow. This obviously means that still large womenfolk of our country are illiterate, weak, backward and exploited. Women education also involves issues of single-sex education and religious education, in that the division of education along gender lines as well as religious teaching on education have been traditionally dominant and are still highly relevant in contemporary discussions on education of females as a global consideration.
