must if we want to do away with the existing differences between
different social classes and genders. It opens a whole world of
opportunities for the poor so that they may have an equal shot at well-
paying jobs. Education also plays a major role in women empowerment.

considered highly reputable in the society. The more educated you are, the
more respect you will get from those around you.
