Abstract:
The subject then moved to the consequences of early marriages on secondary school education for girls, with a case study of the Bwambara Secondary School in the Rukungiri District. This issue was chosen because it's crucial to find solutions to prevent early marriages and also because it relates to the education of girls in the area. In light of this, the study made an attempt to pinpoint the different reasons that students at Bwambara Secondary School get married and have children, to examine the impact early marriage has on the education of girls, and to pinpoint the various strategies for ending early marriages in secondary schools. The study's goal was to select only a few representative sample elements from the community, hence the researcher utilized a cross-sectional survey research design. The students, teachers, and parents of Bwambara Secondary School make up the population from which the sample was drawn. The respondents came from a variety of classes and departments within the school. in order to get accurate data that would assist the researcher in collecting anything required. There have been 320 people in this population overall. Questionnaires and interviews were the data collection methods employed. For each objective, the researcher used structured, closed-ended questions from the questionnaires to collect qualitative data, and correlation analysis computations were done. To test the hypotheses and ascertain the effect of early marriages on secondary school education for girls, correlation was used. The determinants of early marriages and the education of girls were indicated to have a weakly positive link by the correlation coefficients of 0.356 and 0.947. The null hypothesis was rejected because the P-value for this relationship (0.065) was less than 0.05, making it statistically insignificant at the 5% level of significance. Nevertheless, there was a strong positive correlation coefficient (0.947) between the ways to control early marriages and girl child education, and this relationship was statistically significant at the 5% level of significance because the P-value (0.005) was less than 0.05. The combined independent variable components' impact on the dependent variable was further tested using an ANOVA, and the research showed that the fit was good because the R-squared value was higher than the corrected R-squared and value imposes a harsher penalty on the model. And the researcher recommended that girl child education should be prioritized by all stakeholders NGOs which support girl-child education should be supported by government .Free primary and secondary education should be extended to all areas and prioritized.
