Pursue Higher Education

Education has been one of the basic building blocks to social progress and growth in individuals since time immemorial.

Today Higher education is not a treat anymore, but it is a must for persons who want to survive in such a complex, dynamic, and always-evolving world. 

The need to get an education is even more important for women, who are not only tasked with personal growth but also with leading change in wider society.

Economic Independence and Empowerment

Everybody knows that education money is connected to the obvious side of independence for females, but it is also one of the strongest motivators to go to university.

Women with a higher level of education degrees have significantly higher salaries than those who only finished high school.

The income gap illustrates that education is a critical component of financial independence for women to be able to live on their own income, save for a future, or invest back into themselves and consequently into their families & communities.

Secondly, it breaks occupational segregation by gender as higher education creates avenues for male-dominated careers and changes the dynamics of labour force segregation.

And by attaining professional credentials such as engineering, medicine, law, and technology, women not only scale their income but also their professional recognition.

Thus, as women are educated, it leads to growth in the economics of their community and world economy because the more educated they are, the more they contribute.

Driving Social Change

For gender equality and social change, higher education holds a significant place.

Educated women are often vocal in the defence of women's rights, public health, and social justice. 

Women with education are more likely to take on roles that challenge patriarchal society and solutions or provide input on policy-making. 

They learn to advocate for policy changes to elevate the socioeconomic status of women as well as other underprivileged groups. 

Additionally, more educated women are more inclined to be progenitors of the next generation by focusing on education and the overall welfare of their children. 

Research has found evidence that mothers with more education motivate their children to attend school and perform better in school. 

Over and over again, this investment in education enables us to get out of a cycle of poverty and inequalities, as mothers with more education can give their children a better education/education opportunities, enabling entire communities to rise up.

Personal Development and Self-Actualization

Apart from economic and social gains, quality education also has a great impact on personal development. 

Knowledge seeking is to develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, which is our passport through the complexities of modern life.

Education broadens your vision and self-esteem, enabling women to explore their own skills and cultivate their interests.

Furthermore, higher education often offers opportunities for personal connections, mentorship, and community involvement, which in turn form an extensive group of support in professional life as well as social life.

This interaction can enable women to identify role models and build alliances that enhance both career and personal development.

And then college or the university can give women a really unique place to experiment with ideas from a variety of paradigms in cultures. 

It can lead to feelings of independence and individuality and empower women to realise their rights, worth, and capabilities.

Higher education secures a feeling of achievement in women, which indicates to them that they can have both ambitious personal and professional goals.

Representation in Leadership and Decision-Making

The necessity of women's representation in leadership and decision-making must be underscored.

Appropriate education attainment of women is key to ensuring not just political but also business and community leadership with gender parity. 

Women are more likely to be in positions of leadership at the C-suite or boardroom levels in corporations, government offices, non-profit organisations, etc., as they pursue higher levels of education.

An inclusive female (also of all genders) leadership leads to peaceful decision-making that can hear the voices of all the population.

Women's presence in positions of power catalyses the ivory-tower institutions and governmental governments to grapple with issues that particularly affect us (child care, reproductive rights, healthcare, domestic violence). 

Education is that gateway by which women can access and even contribute to effective, participatory policy-making.

Conclusion

There are many reasons why women need to go to higher education, like economic independence and self-actualisation, but also for social change and fair representation.

It is critical to acknowledge, with the world becoming more and more interlinked and complex, that a woman's education now more than ever should be a societal responsibility in addition to just personal benefit as we go ahead.

Women who are educated can not only change their course of life but also that of their families and the wider community. 

Provided access to education opens up a chain reaction of developments, which can only build economic growth and societal evolution. 

So, encouraging, enabling, and actualising women's higher education is the need of the hour to create a balanced environment where everyone can move ahead.
