It is rightly stated that “Educating a boy is educating a person but Educating a girl is educating a nation”. Some of the major barriers which stand for girls education are as follows-
1. Lack of consciousness amongst the female members to be educated.
2. Lack of safe transportation for girls to go to school.
3. Financial constraints in the family.
4. Conservative mentality.
5. The task of performing domestic duties at home such as cleaning, washing, etc.
6. The lack of women teachers in primary and middle schools has been a major factor for low enrolment of girls.
7. Unwillingness of many parents to send their daughter to mixed schools.
8. Early Marriage age in many states acts as an obstacle.
Some of the major initiatives for promotion of girl's education include Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao; Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBV); Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. Further, the following suggestions you may write in your answers:
Serious efforts must be made by the government in collaboration with civil society wherein awareness must be created amongst the parents for promoting girls education. Use of media in portraying a positive image of women.
Financial assistance to poverty stricken families. Counselling of parents and children from unprivileged families.
