| dc.description.abstract | The general objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between socio-cultural factors and girl child education in Bukiyi Subcounty, Sironko District. The research aimed to explore the socio-cultural factors prevalent in the area, determine their impact on girl child education, and identify strategies to eliminate negative factors hindering educational opportunities for girls. Using a sample size of 40 and employing a descriptive study design, the findings revealed that traditional gender roles and economic constraints were significant barriers to girl child education. Specifically, 60% of respondents reported that traditional beliefs prioritized domestic responsibilities for girls over educational attainment, resulting in lower school attendance and higher dropout rates. Additionally, 50% of participants noted that economic challenges, including the cost of school materials and poverty, further exacerbated these issues. The study also highlighted that cultural attitudes towards female education were generally unsupportive, with 40% of respondents expressing that prevailing cultural norms did not prioritize girls' education. The study concluded that socio-cultural factors, including entrenched gender roles and economic constraints, had a detrimental effect on girl child education in Bukiyi Subcounty. It recommended implementing community sensitization programs to challenge traditional beliefs, providing financial support to alleviate economic barriers, and promoting gender equality policies to create a more supportive environment for girl child education. These recommendations aimed to address the identified barriers and improve educational opportunities for girls in the region. | |
