95 percent Pakistani youth favours women education, says survey

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani youth takes their religion seriously without expressing a desire to impose it on other people. It was revealed in a research study conducted by Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) to examine thinking patterns of Pakistani youth.

The latest issue of ‘Conflict and Peace Studies’, a quarterly research journal of the institute carries the outcome of the survey.

According to the PIPS survey of postgraduate students from 16 public and private universities and postgraduate public colleges across the country, 79.4 percent of the respondents thought that the Pakistani Taliban did not serve the cause of Islam. Most of the respondents (85.6 percent) believed that suicide bombings were prohibited in Islam. The majority of the respondents (61.7 percent) supported military operations in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

At the same time, these young Pakistanis overwhelmingly considered religion an important factor in their life (92.4 percent), though 51.7 percent said that they do not offer prayers regularly. staff report

What does education, as we have it today through the school system, serve?

In Pakistan, higher education at least, is meant only to help you find a job, and therefore IMV should be banned or renamed training or skills-acquisition.
 
and who the hell are moroons 5% which disagree education of momen kill these animals better.we will educate our sisters and daughters go to hell talibans.
 
If they had considered the youth from villages, tribal areas, more conservative places, i am sure the result of the survey would have been a lot different.

I cant say about everyone but currently i am working with a university on a project here in KP and have received assignments by many girls residing in FATA.

On ground i can tell you the situation has improved alot here in my province of Pakistan.


I am happy for that :tup: gradual change is always leads to sustainable progress
 
Slightly unrelated, but my grand uncle died yesterday and my dad told me about how he (grand uncle) was socially boycotted against by a feudal lord because his family was trying to educate my grandfather... but God helped them, my grand dad became a sugar mill engineer (big deal as far as villagers go)

Feudal lords don't like education... down with them all!
