Gender, Feminism and the Girl Child Education in Nigeria
Journal Title: Journal of Education and Literature - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The importance for development of girls‟ education cannot be overstated. To capitalize on the potential of its people, and ensure healthier, more educated, empowered and productive citizens, Nigeria must invest in educating the mothers of the next generation. Although this problem is recognized, its complexity is widely underestimated and causes are not well understood. This paper reviewed prevailing explanations, which tend to concentrate either on possible gender differentials in educational enrolment in various level of education. It also identified some causes of feminine failure and drop out in schools and further looked into findings of education and major educational policies till date. The paper concluded that, the Nigerian government should as a matter of urgency workout large scale educational activities and strategies for the promotion of women education for enhanced economic development.
