Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The study focused factors that influence the enrolment of girls students at secondary schools of district west Karachi. The scope of the study was limited to girls students and their parents. The strategy of research was survey. The study revealed that female students have to face a great deal of problems and various obstacles for instance, poverty, insecurity, attitude of community and parents towards education and so on, as a result many female students are not able to continue further education. Parents and community have a biased approach towards girls’ education and parents do not want to spend on their daughters’ better education. Furthermore, government needs to take quick and practical steps towards the betterment of female education. An awareness campaign is being run by different means i.e. media, community mobilizers, and different NGOs in order to provide a better understanding of the importance of education with preferred reference of female/girls education. In the light of the findings concrete recommendations were made.
