inequality towards female education cannot be over

domestic works. Record has proven that women can do as well

as their men counter parts.

Millions of girls around the word has been denied

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

It will believe that a research of this nature was carried out

with some difficulties one of the limiting factors is the

insufficient time allocate to the work by the school authorities.

Transportation problem was another factor because the roads

linking each village are in bad shapes. Ethnic/gravitational

belief of the village was another factor since some of them

regarded female position in the society as less relevant than

their male counterparts. High rate of illiteracy is also a problem

because, most of the parents are not learned and therefore

their attitude towards the training of female education is always

negative. Another limiting factor is orientation; the village was

not properly oriented before my arrival for effectiveness. The

study is limited to the Local Government Area of Edo State
