Answers
Answer:
The negative attitude of parents towards the girl child and her education is one of the major reasons of low female literacy rate in India. In most of the families, boys at home are given priority in terms of education but girls are not treated in the same way. Right from the beginning, parents do not consider girls as earning members of their family, as after marriage they have to leave their parents’ home. So their education is just considered as a wastage of money as well as time. For this reason, parents prefer to send boys to schools but not girls.
thank you!
⏩ The Literacy rate in India is low for females due to the following reasons:-
☞ India has traditionally been male-dominated society, where, due to historical and cultural reasons, a division of labour already exists between men and women in the family.
☞ Due to these cultural reasons, it is generally considered that men would go out to work and women would look after the domestic chores. So, education among girls is discouraged from the start.
☞ The gender disparity exists in most families and more preference is given to the boys of the family for education because they are considered the future of the family.
☞ Poor families due to all the above reasons and monetary restraints, prefer to send only their sons to school and not their daughters.
☞ According to the 2011 census of India, 68.84% of Indians still live in villages where a lot of gender bias exists. Anyway, even if some rural areas families manage to send their daughters to school, but midway, they are taken out because of unsafe roads, improper transportation facilities and poor quality of infrastructure and facilities in school. Thus, most of the time, the education of the girl child remains incomplete, adding to the low rate of literacy level of the country.
