Girls doing well

Md. Shariful Islam, Dept. of International Relations, University of Dhaka
This year a total of 10,13,301/- students appeared in the SSC exams. Among the 7,47,545 school students, 3,83,770 were boys and 3,63,775 girls. I strongly believe that if our girls get the opportunity, their talents will bloom fully. No nation can make real progress keeping a full half of its population in the dark, so without the uplift of women the progress of the nation is not at all possible. So, education should be imparted to the womenfolk so that they may come forward and work hand in hand with men in all development programmes. They are joining a wide range of professions. Mothers play an important part in moulding the character of their children. Every woman is a potential mother. If there is an educated mother in every family, we will get an educated and healthy future generation that will help us build up a progressive and developed nation.
