Sir: This is to bring to your notice that the lack of education among women especially those belong to financially weaker section of society and rural areas is a big concern. More than 50 percent of women in Pakistan are not enrolled in schools and even if they get to schools they dropout by the age of twelve. Here, education is not considered important for women. They are only taught how to do household chores and sometimes the eldest girl becomes a second mother to her siblings. This growing problem needs to be solved by creating awareness among people.
