These materials were indeed provided a comparison between the situation of the study area and the other parts.

A total of 21 schools were targeted as the universe, while 10 ECD units were selected as the sample population by use of simple random sampling. The findings showed that though concerted efforts have been put in place of late, much needs to be done. The girl child is still burdened despite the efforts. The researcher recommends that the government should strengthen and enforce existing laws that protect the girl child. Special girl institutions also need be introduced in all districts to boost enrolment rates for the girl child. | en_US |
