Abstract:
It is a common knowledge that even at this time, in the 21st century, there are still some communities in the Nigerian society where some parents do not see the need to educate their female children. Many female children in this type of communities are being denied this privilege, i.e. education, which Adekunle Akinyemi, describes as having the aim of developing an individual such that he/she would be useful to himself or herself and the society at large. Little wonder it is said that, “if you educate a female child you have educated a nation”. The negligence of good and quality education of female children by some of our communities is sheer ignorance of what education stands for. Also, there are some who have been wrongly indoctrinated into having negative nation towards western education which they have come to believe that is an avenue to spoil one’s female child.
