Abstract
Aristotle said “The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living differs from the dead.” If we want to understand and live life we need to seek education. Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training or research. Female education is very important in changing character, mind and personality. Female education and gender equality are two of the major aspects without succeed we can’t achieve intended progress. In Pakistan education as a right is denied to many children, the state of literacy, particularly of females is dismal in its most deprived province, Balochistan with as much as 70% girls dropped out of school. Female literacy in Balochistan is one of the lowest in the world. Most girls are not allowed to acquire education. Balochistan literacy rate is 37%, which is much below that of the other three provinces of Pakistan, as well as its national average of 53%. The women in Balochistan have no access to education, due to cultural barriers and lack of resources as well. Cultural barriers to female education in Balochistan are a major issue. Women in Balochistan have no expectation and dreams as there are very rare opportunities and many cultural barriers for them
