Jahangir, an emperor at one time, passed a law, stating that if a rich man was to die without a successor; his resources would be used by the State to help in the development and maintenance of educational associations. Time was taken for scholarships to be provided to assist students. The education of females began to take form as well, and girls from rich families were usually able to have an education through private tuitions at home. The Middle class girls were frequently able to attend the same schools as the boys.
