INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The
attitude of parents towards female education is a topic many people frown at in
the developing and undeveloped countries. It is regarded of them as taboo that
female education is very important to enable matured persons especially parents
acquint themselves with the efficacy of female education in the position sense.
Female education has been misunderstood by many as a means of sexual harassment
due to ignorance.
The
topic is considered to be paramount, as well as an important mechanism because
secondary schools and higher institution of learning in our country Nigeria
have been plaque with the problems of poor moral decadence among females in
academics. Attempts have been made to define female education as parenthood
education, education for effective or hygienic living with feminine gender as
an integral Inseparable part of the individual. Female education helps the
individual to develop the fullest creative skills as sexual human being at all
stages of life.
As
the name implies, it is perceived as the provision of female awareness or
knowledge to people in the conceptual nitty gritty, female education is a
comprehensive programme of individual development right from infancy to the
declining year.
It is
a programme designed to produce fully and charismatic desirable attitudes,
values and moral behaviors amongst female, therefore the concepts of female
education is broad in scope as it encompasses family and society. Teenagers in
the society as well as children want to know about sex. Traditionally, children
are supposed to receive information about the dangers of sex from their parents
but many parents do not instruct their children about sex at all.
Eyitayo (2005) observed female education as those aspects of the curriculum
whether from all or information which loyalty encompasses such topics as an
anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system sexually transmitted disease
or appropriate social aspects of sexuality.
In my
own view, female education is designed to give correct and adequate factual
information and understanding of problem of sex as its expressing development
and functions.
The
provision of female education is vital because the norms guiding sexual act has
been broken by those societal norms, sex through parent’s teachers or
counsellors and education will provide information for improving behavior and
establishing personality in our society. This information should be given to
all the teenagers for our children to know about sex.
Female education is concerned with the mechanics of personality and character
development as well as sex information and the techniques of sex act.
Adolescence age which starts from about the age of twelve to about twenty years
is a period of transition from one point of rapid physical changes or
conflicting motive and expectation to another and to maturity. It is a
time by which someone undergoes dramatic changes physically, socially and
emotionally. In the way of entering into adolescents is exciting after all it
means that one his way to become an adult. Teenagers who experience
physiological changes should quite appropriately learn more about female
education.
In
the period of the adolescents changes takes place in the body to prepare you
for sexual reproduction which takes years to complete and it affects more than
the development of reproductive organs.
Girls
usually start puberty between 10 to 12 with an increase in the hormone levels,
notably of estrogens in girls that transformations that follows; in this
period, changes which occurs begins by having monthly discharge of blood secretions
and tissues debris from the uterus.
The
menstrual period is usually accompanied by cramps as a dropping hormones level
growth of pigmented body; Hair breast development and enlargement of pelvic
girdle.
These
changes causes certain amount of anxiety, insecurity and self consciousness for
adolescents situation is further complicated by a lack of correct information
above the normal processes of maturity and the range of which changes occurs.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The
researcher intends to find out the problems that could bring solution to female
education in Uhunmwonde local government area of Edo state. It has been
observed that parents attitude toward female education had created a great gap
between the masculine and feminine counterparts in the society. It is believed
that this project work will fill this gap. Female education being a
controversial and debatable topic have made some parents to avoid communication
or not given information concerning this topic to their children this is because
of fear that their children might go lay wire onto practicing sex after they
have been taught.
