Abstract:

Peers play a vital role in influencing the behaviour and lifestyle of a particular student while at school. However, the influence of friends in ensuring girl student endeavour in education at school is oversimplified into a casual friendship rather than warranting their cooperation in learning until completion. As a result, many schools in Tanzania are experiencing high girl-child school dropouts. It is for this reason, this study sought to examine the influence of peer groups on girl-students dropping out of secondary school. The study also explored possible measures that can be employed to

Abstract:

Girl child education has been a problem in most developing countries, Nigeria inclusive. The problem of the Nigerian girl child is the cultural web in which she is caught which makes it impossible for her to compete with her peers in the developed world. Various studies have shown that there is a strong link between girls’ literacy rates and religious and traditional misconceptions. As Nigeria is a very religious country, many of its citizens tend to live according to the holy writings, be it the Bible or Quran. That is why many households think that girls should not receive education in the s

Importance of Girl-Child education has become a frontline issue in many discourses held globally in recent times. The premium placed on the Girl-Child’s education is a result of several awareness/enlightenment campaigns on the need for the Girl-Child to assume her rightful place in society. The illiteracy of the Girl-Child has chain effects on the family; which is the primary agent of socialization and the society in general.
