Education, Women, Pandemic -2020Abstract
Introduction: Education is first and foremost a social tool that is imperative for the continued survival and growth of the human society. Girl’s educational opportunities tend to be circumscribed by patriarchal attitude. The social pressure on females such as early marriage and other extraneous factors as well as consideration of female education as secondary to that of boys and certain inhibit religious practices are the most major causes of illiteracy. It has been a cultural belief of many rural areas that women exist to be housewives and mothers, these beliefs give women limited roles. They are considered inferior to men in terms of intellect. About 743 million girls are missing out their education due to lockdown and school closures, during the pandemic. As school are closed rural areas are reported to increased pregnancies, sexual and gender-based violence, unsafe abortions and child marriages. Girls facing these problems are less likely to return to schools once they reopen. Objectives: 1. To analyze the education for women. 2. To analyze education for women during pendemic-2020. Methodology: This research is based on education of women during pandemic 2020 as primary and secondary education system is affected. Key Results: Approximately 1,077 billion learners are currently affected not only students, but also teachers are jobless. Child care problems have increased. Distance learning through online is recommended. Conclusion: According to an African proverb ‘If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a women, you educate a family (nation). Most of the women are getting married early and are not permitted to step out unaccompanied. There is a keen desire amongst the women to complete their basic secondary education through distance learning. Education has been facing a number of challenges this year. Our Indian Constitution empowers the state to adopt affirmative measures for prompting ways and means to empower women.
