How do we know women should pursue education?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not prohibit women from pursuing education; rather, it acknowledges their call and gifts.

While some may hold the view that women should remain at home until marriage, this perspective lacks strong scriptural backing. Instead, the Reformed understanding highlights that women, like men, have varied callings from God that may include education and vocational pursuits. There should not be a blanket rule preventing women from higher education when it contributes positively to their personal and spiritual growth. Proverbs 1:7 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, suggesting that education can be a means of glorifying God and fulfilling one's calling.
