In Sindh, girls mostly have very low access to the basic education
as compared to boys. Even if some of girls get access to primary
education, many factors hinder their further education and force
them to quit schooling. In rural areas, the female literacy rate
falls to 25 percent and girls' school enrolment falls from
fifty-five percent to twenty percent from Grade 1 to 6. There are
two major factors impeding girls' education in rural Sindh - demand
and supply. At the demand side, parents and the community have the
traditional and indifferent attitude towards female education, they
consider it worthless. As far as supply side is concerned,
unavailability of girls' schools, poor location of schools, lack of
facilities and infrastructure, the shortage of competent and
dedicated teachers are the big issues hindering female schooling in
rural areas. The alarming issue is the views of parents and
community about the need and value of female education. Majority of
the rural parents consider education as the sole right of the male
child.
