Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is facing the traditional boundaries regarding female education in rural areas. This study investigates the impact of mother education on children's academic achievements and health and suggests measures for improvement in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Therefore, any study related to these issues has played a significant role in the development of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to the overall study, the answers to the questionnaire filled by the educated women indicated that mostly the positive effect of the educated woman on her children lies between the percentage ranges of 70% to 85%, and most of the P-value and Chi-square values found significantly associated. Two points are elaborated on in this research. The first one is about the effect of an educated woman on the educational status of her children, and the second one is about the effect of an educated woman on the health of her children. The study found that educated women have a 70% to 85% positive effect on their children's educational status, including class position, good behavior, and socioeconomic status. The research indicates that higher maternal education positively impacts children's educational status, with significant associations between P-value and Chi-square values. The study found that educated women positively impact children's health by promoting good eating habits, vaccinations, and polio drop courses, with a 70% to 85% positive effect.
