Bajaur: Rahmat Ullah Mamund, a dynamic youth leader, scholar at Staffordshire University (UK), and a dedicated social activist from Bajaur, has made a powerful and timely appeal to the government, urging immediate action to uplift girls’ education in the tribal districts. According to him, “If women are denied access to education, the dream of progress will remain unfulfilled.”
In a spirited statement, Mamund emphasized that women’s education is not only a tool for individual empowerment but also the cornerstone of a prosperous society.
“We must move beyond empty promises and take concrete steps to ensure that our daughters and sisters receive quality education and grow into active contributors to society,” he asserted.
He demanded the establishment of girls’ schools, colleges, a women’s university, and technical institutes in underdeveloped areas including Mamund, Salarzai, Nawagai, and other remote villages of Bajaur. Additionally, he called for the recruitment of trained female teachers, the provision of safe and reliable transportation for female students, and the introduction of financial scholarships for deserving girls.
Rahmat Ullah strongly stated:
“Girls’ education is not just a right—it is a guarantee of our nation’s survival and development.”
His demands come at a time when growing concern surrounds the state of female education in Bajaur and other newly merged districts. Many girls are compelled to abandon their studies due to the lack of basic facilities and supportive infrastructure.
Indeed, if we open the doors of education to our daughters today, tomorrow those same daughters will open the doors of progress, prosperity, and peace for the entire nation.
