From the Paper:

"Education is not an end itself, but involves a major investment of time and finances towards obtaining a well-paying position in the workforce. Women's access to education has been restricted historically and they have been excluded from numerous institutions. Primarily, women's education offers them new choices and opportunities so that they become a threat to the functionalist role of motherhood. According to Joshi (2002), education and paid work impact on women's traditional reproductive role. Enabling equal education for women with men undermines the separation of the two spheres, so that public and private are blurred."
