Village - External.

Literacy, Level of Education, etc.

Visit from i(Fatime Haat) (married to i(Bekir Bayraktar)). Has 4 children by previous marriage - their father dead, calls them ksz {orphan}. Wants girls to
earn money - has sent 2 away as hizmetci. But didn't let them go to school. Younger daughter by Bekir now of school age. { plus 2 younger boys} Attitude -
what's the point in girls going to school - let boys go - nothing to do with girls. Quite interested when we said that if the girl went to school she would be
able to get a better job - possibly as a village schoolteacher.

k< girls and school, girls to urban service>
