Hey to all my dear friends this article is appreciated by and uploaded at bahaikinews.org. U Too enjoy the article and think about Baha'i Education in my view this is the best form of education that we can give to make this planet a wonderful place to live without any discrimination on cast,creed ,gender, religion basis...THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOMENT OF WOMEN
No nation can achieve success unless education is accorded in all its citizens. Therefore, it is the bounden duty of parents to rear their children to be staunch in faith…For every praiseworthy deed is born out of the light of religion, and lacking this supreme bestowal the child will not turn away from any evil, nor will he draw nigh unto any good..
Could the students be brilliant and accomplished if the teacher is illiterates and ignorant? Mothers are the first educators of children, who establish virtues in the child’s inner nature. They encourages the child to acquire perfection and goodly manners, warn him against unbecoming qualities and encourage him to show forth resolve, firmness and endurance under hardships and to advance on the high roads of progress. Due regard for the educations of girls is, therefore, necessary. This is very important subject, and it should be administered and organized under the aegis of spiritual Assenbly….
Let the mothers consider that whatsoever concerneth the education of children is of the first importance. Thus shall these tender infants be nurtured at the breast of knowledge of GOD and His love. Thus shall they learn perseverance in all things, the will to advance, high mindness and high resolves, chastity and purity of life. Thus shall they be enabled to carry to a successful conclusion whatsoever they undertake and foster them to embrace Baha’I education.
Therefore it is incumbent upon the girls of this glorious era to be fully versed in the various branches of knowledge, in sciences and the arts and all the wonders of this pre-eminent time, that they may then educate their children and train them from their earliest days in the ways of perfection. Furthermore the education of women is more necessary important than that of man, for woman is the trainer of the child from its infancy. And if woman were imperfect then it will imply to a condition of imperfection in all mankind. If the educator were incompetent, the educated will be correspondingly lacking. This is evident and incontrovertible.
In proclaiming the oneness of mankind the taught that men and women are equal in the sight of GOD and that there this no distinction to be made between them .The only difference between them is due to lack of education and training .If woman is given opportunity of education, distinction and estimate of inferiority will disappear. Both the humans; both are endowed with potentialities of intelligence and embody the virtues of humanity in all human activity women does not manifest her natal prerogative, owing to lack of education and opportunity. But it has been objected by some that woman is not equally capable with man and is deficient by creation. Heretofore, women has been denied the right and privileged of equal development .If equal opportunity be granted her, there is no doubt she would be the peer of man .Why should a woman be left mentally undeveloped? Science is praiseworthy-whether investigated by the intellect of man or woman. So, little by little, woman be advanced, giving increasing evidence of equal capabilities with man-whether in scientific research, political ability or any other sphere of human activity. The conclusion is evident that woman has been outdistanced through lack of education and intellectual facilities.
Baha’u’llah has announced that inasmuch as ignorance and lack of education are barriers of separation among mankind, all must receive training and instruction. Universal education is a universal law. It is, therefore, incumbent upon every father to teach and instruct his children according to his possibilities. Equality of the sexes will be established in proportion to the increased opportunities afforded woman in this age, for man and woman are equally the recipients and endowment from GOD, the Creator. God has not ordained distinction between them in His consummate purpose. The education of child is compulsory …In addition to this widespread education each child must be taught a profession, art,or trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own livehood.Workdone in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship. Devote ye particular attention to the school for girls, for the greatness of this wondrous Age will be manifested as a result of progress in the world of women.
Praised be God that there is now a school of this type in Tehran where young maidens can, through His bounty, receive an education and with all vigor acquire the accomplishments of humankind.
No nation can achieve success unless education is accorded all its citizens. Therefore, the decision-making agencies involved would do well to consider giving first priority to the education of women and girls. It should teach the concept of world citizenship as part of the standard education of every child.
A very important element in the attainment of such equality is Baha’u’lluh’s provision that boys and girls must follow same curriculum in schools. The house of Justice regards the need to educate and guide women in their primary responsibility. Your efforts should focus on helping them in their function as educators of the rising generation. Women should also be encouraged to attract husbands and male members of the family to Baha’I education. Gradually the spirit of unity and fellowship, as set forth in our teaching, will be reflected in the life of Baha’I families.
