Female education plays an important role in the societal progress and improvement. The literacy rate among rural females is 29% in Pakistan. In the developing countries like Pakistan, the traditional attitude towards women education is painstaking a keyobstacle in girls' schooling. In this study an effort had been made to explore the effect of traditional attitude on the educational attainment of rural females in Pakistan. The present study was conducted in the rural areas of the district Hafizabad. A sample of size 700 female children was selected using multistage random sampling technique. The fmal completed school grade was considered as the response variable. The analysis reveals that the girls, who belonged to households where the minds of the heads of the households were entrenched in the local cultural values, had lower levels of educational attainment as compared to the girls of households where the heads of the households were liberal. The study realizes the need to encourage the male heads of the households for schooling of their daughters as a short-run policy. Efforts to neutralize an innovative attitude towards females in the third world nations are the need of the hour. International organizations and States of the developing world should manage to promulgate the importance of female education.Keywords

The current study evaluated the causal relationship of self-esteem with depression and anger among religious minority adolescents (Christians and Hindus) of Pakistan. Based on preceding literature, it was hypothesized that self-esteem would predict depression and anger in religious minority adolescents. In the current study, 160 religious minority adolescents (i.e. 76 Christians and 84 Hindus) participated. The age of the participants ranged from 11 years to 19 years with the mean age of 15.49 years. All participants of the study belonged to middle socioeconomic class and their educational level ranged from 6th to 13th grade. Research measures employed were:Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Reynolds Adolescents Depression Scale, 2nd Ed (Reynolds, 2002) and Adolescents Anger Rating Scale (Burney, 2001). Through Linear Regression Analysts, self-esteem was found to be a statistically significant predictor of depression and anger in religious minority adolescents.Keywords
