Abstract

This study examined the roles of School Based Management Committee on Girl Child Access to Primary Education in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted and School Based Management Committee Roles Questionnaire (SBMCRQ) was the instrument used to collect data. The sample size of 759 respondents comprising of 378 teachers and 381 SBMC members from 346 primary schools in Kaduna State using multi-stage sampling technique was used. A total of 759 copies of the questionnaire were given out to the respondents and 717 copies were returned after the administration. There was 94.5% rate of return. The instrument was validated by experts. The Cronbach alpha reliability for the SBMCRQ is 0.85.  The data collected were analyzed with the use of frequency and percentages as well as mean and standard deviation. It was found that activities of School Based Management Committee in Kaduna State in terms of sensitizing the general public about importance of girl-child education, advocacy visits to community stakeholders, awareness creation and regular engagement and interaction with religious leaders with a view to do away with misconception about education of female children have yielded positive results in terms of increase of girl child’s access, enrolment, retention and completion of primary education. It was recommended that School Based Management Committee should be made more functional in all primary schools in Kaduna State. The Government at the State level should intensify supervision and inspection of schools to ensure that SBMC is more effective and maintains positive relationships with teachers for excellent girl-child access to primary education.

Abstract

Despite the centrality of women education in the development of societies, a huge gender gap still exists in education in northern Nigeria, at the detriment of women and girls. The gender disparity in education is induced by a matrix of forces, ranging from poor and negative parental attitude towards the education of the girl child, to stereotyping of girls in the society, leading to high illiteracy among married women and huge school drop-outs. Inspired by the imperative to address the gender concerns, this study investigated the impact of marital responsibilities on the academic activities of married women in Continuing Education Centres in North-west Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used. A sample size of 306 married women and 152 women without marital status was selected using systematic and stratified sampling techniques. Two instruments (Marital Induced Academic Challenges Questionnaire (MIACQ) and End of Session Examination Scores and were used for data collection. The data collected were analysed using frequency and percentages and t-test. The findings revealed that the inability of married women to relate easily with other learners, inadequate time to do homework without interruption, poor reading skills, and absenteeism in tutorials are some of the academic challenges facing married women as learners. The study concluded that the challenges that emanated from being married women and learners have led to poor academic performance and stress among married women. The maturity displayed by married women learners in coping with the stress of marital and academic responsibilities must be strengthened particularly in the area of development of plan action by the learners themselves. The study recommended that adult and non-formal education programmes such as regular orientation and counseling for both learners and their teachers should be popularized
