| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to find out the challenges facing girl child education in the selected schools in Butaleja district in the Eastern part of Uganda. The objectives of the study were divided into general and specific and among these included identifying the impact of education for a girl child in Butaleja district and investigating the possible measures that can be put in place to eradicate challenges facing girl child education. The literature review was done through reading text books, papers and journals, the method design adopted was a descriptive survey and the instrument adopted for data collection was an interview guide. The data got from the instrument was collected into figures and percentages which were tabulated in tables. The research found out that girl child in Butaleja District in eastern Uganda face challenges during their stay at school than boys. The following recommendations were made by the researcher; the government should conduct sensitization programes in eastern part of Uganda especially in Butaleja district and parents and girls should be targetted to make them aware of the importance of educating a girl child, Certain practices like early marriage, forced marriage and early pregnancy should be emphasised, Teachers and school administrators should help in the awareness compaign by sensitizing girls to take up education as a serous matter and the importance of being educated, Local administration to be vigilant on those girls who engage in child labour and parents who make girls to take care of their young ones during their absence to be dealt with. The researcher sugested that further researchers should make research about the problem due to the fact that she had limited scope of this study and therefore her findings cannot be considered as the conclusion hence there is need for further research to be undertaken on issues like legislation on defilement and sexual harassment especially on girls in primary schools and also Community participation to enhance gender balance education in Uganda. Further more, this study was conducted among secondary school students therefore the researcher recommends that a similar study on primary school pupils to find out whether the results of the study can be replicated among primary school pupils. With these, to the best of my ability or knowledge girl child should be motivated by both the parents and teachers so as to achieve the best out of their stay as school. | en_US |
