Gender parity in healthcare is more important than ensuring gender parity in education.

· To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Health is wealth or knowledge is wealth? Opinions differ of course. But, when it comes to gender parity in these two areas, I would agree with the view that it is better gender health that matters more than better gender parity in education.

Why I support this view is because health takes care of everything else, even gender parity in education. An educated community of males and females may be able to lead their life the way they like. But their healthy status is what makes them sustain in life so that they can continue living their lives. For example, a highly education female and a male may be able to find means for their life as they enjoy parity in education. What if one of them is not enjoying parity in healthcare? All the qualifications notwithstanding, he or she may not be successful in life.

Coming to gender parity in education, I would like to argue that, though evenly educated great number of females are tend to be leading low key lives due to their preoccupations with culture, community and religious implications. A good number of them are not able, in many cultures, to keep that parity in real terms. But, if there is better parity in healthcare, they would be able to lead healthy lives in many more ways than one, other than the one that education offers. So, I would say gender parity in healthcare is wealth, and education is a means to that end.

In short, my point is that uniform healthcare is more important than uniform education. The above inferences prove the same too. Anyway gender parity in different dimensions of life is of perennial significance.
