CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
The education of children is an
important duty of parents and government duty of parents and the government.
The education process starts in the home, but it continues in school when
children reach schools age. It is necessary to emphasize from the on set that
the attempt here is analyze the causes and effect of educational imbalance is
to acknowledge the fact that certain factors are responsible for the
educational imbalance among male and female students in Uhunmwonde to be exact.
A critical examination of these factors will give a clear understanding of the
differences in the number of male and female in school.
According to the national policy on
education (1998_) the 6-3-3-4 programme starts when the child spend six years
in primary schools three years in higher education. The national policy on
education also recognized the importance of pre-primary education hence it
urged parents to provide such education for their children. Parents generally
wish to educate all their children whether they are poor or rich, educated or
illiterate, they realize the immerge importance of school education. However,
there are certain problems which make it difficult for parents to provide
education for all the children. One of such problems is economic for financial
problems in the home. Education is very expensive and many families are unable
to provide the money to educate all the boys and girls children. If there is
not enough money to send all the children which of the children to sent to
school. The others are kept in the home to assist in farming, cooking and
business, there are also culture and religions tradition and custom of the
people, which influence the attitudes of parents towards the education of boys
and girls for example, because male children in her it their fathers properties
most Nigerians tribal families, the male are considered more important than the
female children. Therefore, parents tend to make more effort to educate the
boys than the girls. Moreover, the girls are expected to mature and leave their
parents to live with their husband in the house, some parents feel that money
spent on education of the boys is an investment for the further wealth of the
family. For religions reasons, the female children in some Moslem families are
not given easy freedom to attend school, this is to protect them from too much
Muslim association with male. It protects them from the society. Another factor
that influences the willingness of parents to send their children to schools is
the availability of school near their house. In some part of the country there
are not many schools. The school in the locality may be too for from home and
there may be no transportation to go to school for safety reason, parents may
decide not to take the risk of following the young children to walk the long
distance to school. This is particularly the case if the child’s is a girl or
the health of the child is not too good.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM
Education is an instrument for the
development of an individual and their society. It is so important that every
person should be well educated. The problems of illiteracy and half education
are so many that no parents should deny his or her child the opportunity or
right to receive good education. But there are facts which militate against
male and female enjoying the same unequal access to education. Some of these
factors affects some parents and families more than other. The educational,
cultural, religious or economical problems. The factors influencing educational
imbalance likely to differ according to whether the child concerned is a male
or a female, when ever a parents in not in a position to provide equal access
to education for all his children, a choice has to be made which may be in
favour of the male or female. The parent’s attitudes to the education of male
and female we determine which of the children to send to school. In Nigeria
society, the changes are that the boys will be favored more than the girls. The
problems can lead to more illiterate or inadequately educated girls than boys
in the community. It also amount to denial of the girl’s fundamental right for
a better future life.

This study is important because girls
on many Nigerian houses and societies are often not given the same
opportunities to education as is given to the boys. The girls usually suffer
some discrimination especially if her parents are poor, uneducated or have many
children to carter for I school. The introduction of universal basic education
(UBE) will help to increase opportunity to change the attitude of parents nor
remove all the cultural prejudice against females. The study is also
significant in the sense that it will help to expose which factors are most
influential in determining what attitudes we may reasonably expect from
different types of parents, such information from this study should be useful
to government and those who manage the educational system. It will enable them
to plan properly on how to enforce the compulsory attendance required by the
universal basic education programme for all children of primary and junior
school age that is free and compulsory education for children from the age of
6-15 years.
