Education is one of the most important tools for empowering women in any society. Education does not only play the role of a catalyst in enhancing one’s personality but also strengthens their economic, social, cultural development. Education also plays a key role in improving one’s quality of life and has a strong impact on the overall family and community’s living standards as well.
