Female Higher Education and Elders’ Role among
Pakistani Migrated Communities in United Kingdom

Muhammad Mushtaq, Ph.D. Scholar

Abstract

Europe made tremendous material, technological and social development during the last century. People from all over the world, especially form the poorer countries, migrated legally or illegally in the wake of a better, secured and safe future for them and their children. The force of money and material things made some of them forget their culture and tradition but still a vast majority of them cling to their own culture and tradition. The interpretation of values and traditions, religious teaching and practices vary in detail but, in general, they are derived from five sources of religion.

There are deep divisions between parents and their children about the danger of assimilation. Tradition and beliefs are varied and dynamic, constantly reinterpreted according to circumstances. The major focus of religion is that there should be purity of heart rather than “window purity” (appearent practice). They place more emphasis on that appearent part of the physical rather than internal and deep rooted purity of the heart.

The study identifies the current situation in the Stoke On Trent area where a large number of Muslims population lives. They have enough control on their childern particularly female childern. The issues related to their origin in Pakistan, their qualifications, their employment, the number of children they have, female children qualification and ratio of females in university level education have been analysed and evaluated through a survey which is conducted at different place of the region.
