Promoting ‘wrong notions’

Bahria University is in the spotlight yet again for an inappropriate notification issued by university admission

HYDERABAD: In times when the need for gender equality and acceptance of the other cannot be more emphasised, an educational institution is promoting wrong notions. After recently making news for the wrong reasons, Bahria University is in the spotlight yet again for an inappropriate notification that the university admission has recently issued.

There exists a substantial gap in terms of opportunities available to male and female students, where due to all the wrong reasons, with the aforementioned being one among many, females despite being equally talented and skilled fail to compete with their male counterparts.

With such divisions, one is left to think if the educational institutions are playing their part in educating and eradicating gender inequality that still caps the female potential from being unleashed.
