ABSTRACT
This study examined public perception of girl child education among rural dwellers in Laffia North L.G.A: Implications for social work practice. Data for the study were drawn using the questionnaire and in-depth interview. Data were analysed using the chi-square. Using a sample size of 521 (made up of 509 questionnaire respondents and 12 interviewees), findings of the study revealed that male respondents have negative views about educating a girl-child than female respondents; respondents with higher level of education have positive views on educating the girl-child; those with high income have positive view on educating their female children than those with low income; and, younger respondents have positive perception of girl-child education than older respondents. Based on these findings, the study recommended, among other things, that the government should intensify efforts to improve the standard of education in the rural areas, that social workers should cover more rural areas so as to available.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
The
girl-child, according to Offorma (2009) is the biological female
offspring from birth to 18 years of age. This is the age before one
becomes young adult. This period covers the cr?che, nursery or early
childhood (0?5years), primary (6?12years) and secondary school (12?
18years). During this period, the young child is totally under the care
of the adult who may be her parents or guardians and older siblings. At
this stage, the girl-child is malleable, builds and develops her
personality and character. She is very dependent on the significant
others, those on whom she models her behaviour, through observation,
repetition and imitation. Her physical, mental, social, spiritual and
emotional developments start and progress to get to the peak at the
young adult stage (Offorma, 2009).
The position of the girl-child in
the family and the society at large has biological and historical
antecedents. Buttressing this fact, Oyigbenu (2010) observed that the
girl-child, and indeed women the world over, especially in Africa and
Nigeria, have had their destiny sealed from birth by tradition and
culture on account of their sex. Continuing, Oyigbenu (2010:7) disclosed
that they have been called the weaker sex in order to justify societal
discrimination and oppression against them. They must remain silent
hewers of wood and drawers of water, bearers of children, and toilers of
arduous labour from sun-rise to sun-down. They can be seen but not to
be heard in both the private and the public spheres of decision making.
The girl-child by the natural status ascribed to her by male-defined
norms of societal conduct and behaviour remains a property to be owned
and commoditized. Consequently her rights appear to be circumscribed by
tradition, custom, and the chauvinism of male patriarchy in most
cultures.
A consequence of the above scenario is that right from
birth the girl-child is placed on an unequal position with the male
child thus putting her chances and extent of possible life achievement
in jeopardy. One major area this unequal treatment is manifest is in the
area of formal education. Without education the girl child suffers.
This is aptly summarized by Hagher (2002) when he noted that without
school, no job; without job, no husband, and no beautiful clothes. This
position is supported by Oyigbenu (2010) when he stated that lack of
access to education is indeed the end of the world, because without it
there is certainly no future for the girl-child in the strict sense of
full inclusion and participation in the development process, self
actualization, self-fulfilment and personal freedom.
The need to
educate the girl child is informed by the fact that purposeful
occupational achievement and satisfaction is ensured by deep
self-awareness and understanding which can only be achieved through the
provision.
