Abstract

This study aims to find out the factors hindering girl-child Education in Kware local government Sokoto Nigeria and the possible solutions. A total of 150 parents with girls of school-going age were selected from the twenty five thousand (25,000) study population, using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire was used to obtain data from the selected respondents. A reliability index score of 0.85 was obtained through test retest. Descriptive statistics was employed in analyzing the data. Problems hindering girl-child education as revealed by the study include; the perception of parents that girl-child education was against their religion and culture, poverty, co-education, parents' lack of education, hawking amongst girls, early marriage and demand for girls' labour at home. The study finally recommended that there should be more awareness campaign for improvement in girl-child education that will involve both traditional and religious leaders as they exert great influence upon their people.
