Education for women empowerment.

Education enlightens a person. It makes life meaningful. It is equally necessary for man as well as woman. One who does not have proper education leads a miserable life. Women have an important role in the life of a society and as such they should be educated. It was only in the past few centuries that women were denied the benefits in education. Because of this their role in society got confined to their homes. Girls were not allowed to study along with boys. Rich people got their girls educated at homes.

During the British regime much was done for the education of girls. The society slowly realized the need for educating girls. Education of girls gained momentum. Today a large number of girls get education. To encourage the government is providing free education up to a level.

The performance of girl students is also encouraging. An educated girl becomes a practical mother. She brings up her children along the right lines. She has a proper idea of everything. She can exercise her discretion in running the home. Some educated women are employed and thus help the economy of the family.
The government is doing everything to propagate education for girls. Reservations are provided for girls in educational institutions and in jobs. There are opportunities for education for grown up women. The open universities are providing this opportunity. Slowly but steadily women are proving their merit in every field of human activity. It is an encouragement and a wonderful thing to educate girls because through the same, the whole world gets to understand that women are also as strong as men.

The Kenyan constitution that allows free and fair education to all is one step that has seen education get almost on equal enrollments. For instance, the girls are getting equal access to educational facilities just like boys and the government has also provided some privileges for women in different positions like the newly elected women representatives who have been directed at supporting and advocating for women empowerment.
