The father-daughter duo from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has made history by receiving their Ph.D. degrees on the same day from Peshawar Engineering University.

Today, in Pakistan, people have finally started to understand the importance of education for women. The reflection of this understanding has finally began to glance through examples such as this in our society – a woman receiving a Ph.D. degree in KPK, a province that is considered to be conservative and limits the movement of women in society. Not just that, she received it side by side with her father on the same day.

This truly is news that will go down in history and celebrated for ages to come. It will motivate other women to receive higher education in the region and the country.

Details revealed that Dr. Masood Khan, the Assistant Professor at the University of Peshawar’s Engineering Department, achieved Ph.D. degree in Mechatronics. At the same time, his daughter, Dr. Nadia Masood, was awarded a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering.

On this joyous occasion, Dr. Masood Khan has said that because of his domestic responsibilities, he could not complete his PhD whenme he began it. But now he has, and it is an honor for him to get his Ph.D. degree alongside his daughter, Dr. Nadia.

Dr. Nadia Masood said that it was challenging to get a Ph.D. degree. However, because she worked hard and had full support of her father, she was able to complete the doctorate degree. From this, we only learn that support systems are essential for women to achieve success in life.

As reported by the 24 News HD Tv channel, a girl in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, namely known as Qandeel, daughter of Sohail Ahmad, has scored 1,100 marks out of 1,100 in Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Mardan Khyber Pakhtunkhwa exams – a record that no one has been able to break in the region.

Several sources report that not just in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but also in Pakistan, Qandeel is the only female student who has managed to secure all the 1,100 marks. Qandeel was adopted by her father Sohail Ahmed. Regardless of her uncertain life, she still mustered a great deal of success after finding a stable home and nurtured into a smart intelligent girl.

Qandeel attended Student Model High School, Akora Khattak, Nowshera, in Mardan and obviously was the highest scorer in her school too.

The Chairman of the Mardan Board said that Qandeel was an orphan and didn’t get a home where she would nurture, however, she beat all odds and broke the record once adopted and the board had pride in her.

To celebrate Qandeel’s talent, the board had also announced to wave off her fee for both years. Qandeel spoke to the media and said that her achievement is the result of the hard work of her teachers and her mother’s prayers.

In 2017, the PTI government also inaugurated a Cadet College for girls in Mardan who were left behind due to fewer institutions for girls in the region. Over 123 cadets have been enrolled in the college and are ready to brighten their future. Here, girls are provided with initial training to join the Pakistan Army and Civil Services of Pakistan.

DSP Aneela Naz Becomes Peshawar’s First Female Traffic Police Officer

by Laiba
written by Laiba

It is not the first time that women in Pakistan are taking up contemporary careers. One such case is of Aneela Naz, who has become the first woman in Peshawar to take up a traffic police officer position. The authorities at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s security agencies are credited for hiring more female staff and letting women such as Naz discover their true potential.

Aneela Naz, the deputy superintendent of police (DSP), can now be seen on roads briefing drivers on the rules and regulations for driving in the city and checking driving licenses.

The Dilemma in KPK Over Education for Girls

KPK is rather backward than other cities in the country. Girl’s education is frowned upon here, and Naz is familiar with the custom that her family town of Lucky Marwat follows. That is why she was greatly criticized for becoming a police officer by her family and relatives.

However, things have changed for her after the recent developments. Amidst the news of women climbing the same stairs as men financially, the families that criticized her life choices are now sending their girls to school for higher education. Advanced to the DSP position in KP’s Vehicle License Authority, Naz proudly said she is the first woman to hold the post.

Naz is no less than an inspiration.  Her determination to finish her education despite all the issues she has faced on her way here is remarkable. She became a police officer solely based on her abilities.

We have been witnessing women in Pakistan expanding their horizons in all the possible known fields. We hope to see more and more women participate in different roles across the country, such as Aneela Naz.
