Sorry to say , but is there anything wrong in making education free for both genders? The aim of education is to give enlightenment to a people ; a people here should mean both males and females.

nothing is wrong at all.... but i think there a line here that defines something different

When you make education free for everyone , you are indirectly making it free for girls . So the aim or reason behind this development still baffles me .

we will all wait and see the outcome of this .... hence we all look forward for good developments like thus..
