Introduction

In Pakistan, education starts from the age of five year. Pre-school classes are known as kachee. Primary education consists of five years schooling. After post Primary education, Middle and Secondary education starts. Secondary school is up to 9th & 10th where as Higher Secondary School is up to 11th & 12th classes. In Pakistan people live with different social back grounds. Patricia Hari writes in her book 2004 (parents and community attitudes towards girl’s participation in and access to education of Science Mathematics and technology subjects). Parents and community’s traditional beliefs determine the role of women and girls in society. Women are weak and they only need protection and guidance. Socio-economic changes define the role of women, not only for earning opportunities, but also to use potential abilities to improve the standard of living of communities, families and individual. Those people who have traditional beliefs they have negative attitude towards girl’s education limit family and community support for girl’s education. Examination and identification of these traditional people and their attitudes is necessary. Without the involvement of the parents and community support, any progress in the field of girl’s education will not be possible.
