Abstract

Women in Afghanistan have always faced socio-cultural barriers to their access to education. Over the last two decades, notable efforts have been made to change the point of view and attitudes of people about women’s rights in general and the right to education in particular. The present study explores whether the attitude and perspective of parents and society have changed toward women’s education. Further, the study examines other socio-cultural factors supporting girls’ education in Afghanistan. The data for the study was collected from the Kandahar, Kapisa and Bamyan provinces of Afghanistan using a structured questionnaire. The sample of this study includes 200 respondents, selected through non-probability purposive sampling. The data were presented in a percentage table to explore the result. Findings suggest that although socio-cultural, political and economic barriers persist, positive socio-cultural changes as emerging opportunities cannot be overlooked. Today girls’ education receives further parental, social and religious support. In addition, the media and civil society also play a prominent role in promoting girls’ access to education.
阿富汗妇女受教育的机会:社会文化视角
阿富汗妇女在接受教育方面一直面临着社会文化障碍。在过去二十年中,为改变人们对一般妇女权利,特别是受教育权的看法和态度作出了显著的努力。本研究探讨父母和社会对女性教育的态度和观点是否发生了变化。此外,该研究还考察了支持阿富汗女童教育的其他社会文化因素。这项研究的数据是从阿富汗坎大哈、卡皮萨和巴米扬省收集的,采用结构化问卷调查。本研究的样本包括200名受访者,通过非概率目的抽样选择。数据以百分表的形式呈现,以探讨结果。调查结果表明,尽管社会文化、政治和经济障碍仍然存在,但积极的社会文化变革作为新兴机会不容忽视。今天,女孩的教育得到父母、社会和宗教的进一步支持。此外,媒体和民间社会在促进女童接受教育方面也发挥着突出作用。
