Abstract

Gender equity has been a long term issue in the academic environment. This is because it determines who is capable of being educated, how well they do, and how far they progress. In most societies, being a female child is negatively associated with schooling in terms of enrolment, attainment and performance in the educational system. Most parents believe that the girl child is supposed to be the chief and commander of the kitchen.  It is worrisome to state that this activity tends to demoralize the ego of the girls who should have access to quality education. So sad to say that in most parts of the Northern States, the girl child has become a source of income generation as they are given early marriages by most parents instead of being at school to attain their set goals. It is worth noting that the girl child occupies a central place in society and should be given full support for the attainment of quality education. Thus the paper sought to determine how Promoting Gender Equity in Girl Child Education in Rural Communities in Cross River State, Nigeria can be enhanced. In the course of the study, the paper raised certain salient issues with girl child education, factors hindering gender equity in the girl children and possible ways on how gender equity can be facilitated among girl children in Nigeria with emphasis on rural communities in Cross River Sate, Nigeria.
