The study recommended that Encourage learners to choose and follow the specific behaviour from their code of conduct. Educators must teach learners to evaluate their behaviour on a daily basis by recognizing and crediting good behaviour. For example, the educator may credit all learners with 10 points from the first day of the school week. Each time the learner misbehaves he/she loses a point. On the last day of the school week the number of point each remains with is counted. The one with the most number of points is honored the King/Queen of the following week. The Ministry of Education should develop programmes for girls who drop out of school particularly due to pregnancy or child bearing. They need functional skills. This training should also aim at instilling in them moral values. Introducing moral up bringing in the curriculum would probably discourage girls from becoming pregnant. Government needs to develop policies and programmes to corporal punishments in schools.

    Girl child education and women empowerment. a case study of Kansanga Parish, Makindye Division
    (Kampala International University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2014-07) Tusiime, Doreen
    The problem of discrimination in girl child education cuts through norms of domestic and international law such as gender, culture, custom, religion, marriage and the respect of family life. Better educated girls grow up to be healthier women, which decrease the long term mortality risk for her children — a child who loses her mother, especially in developing countries, is more likely to become vulnerable to health or well being challenges. Girls’ education also directly impacts productivity levels and participation rates in the labor force.Despite of the government’s awareness of such conventions and advantages of girl child education, it seems to ignore the importance of such conventions and little has been done to empower women in Uganda. This paper is therefore inspired to look at education with respect to girl children education and women empowerment in Uganda the great focus being put in Malindye Division Kansaga Parish.
