School Attainment and Gender: Attitudes of Kenyan and Malawian Parents Towards Educating Girls.


This paper compares the attitudes of Kenyan and Malawian rural parents to educating girls, using perceptions of gender-specific academic potential, educational aspirations and opinions on the gender appropriateness of primary school subjects and various careers. Offers suggestions as to how these attitudes affect girls educational attainment. Discusses the ways that parent's attitudes affect girls' completion of primary school in Malawi and how the high wastage rate might be cut. Focusses on the linkages between family background, school attainment and gender. The study focuses on differential expectations of parents for their sons and daughters. In conclusion, the study shows that gender inequalities in school attainment, including opportunities for enrollment and retention, are attributable to multiple and often interrelated factors, such as cultural beliefs, parental need for child labour, low economic resources and parents assessment of their children's academic potential.
