Educating Girls In Pakistan

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Pakistan has embarked on an ambitious educational programme with an emphasis on educating girls - perhaps unsurprisingly, as the Minister for Education is a woman, Zubaida Jhalal. She talks to the programme about her plans for improving literacy in Pakistan. Also on the programme: How a female crane driver holds her own in a man's world. Plus a look at the life of Isadora Duncan, the bare-foot diva who lived like a devil and danced like an angel.
