| dc.description.abstract | One of the goals of education is to achieve gend
er equity towards empowerment. This is in line
with Education for All (EFA)
and Millennium Development Go
als (MDGs). Social cultural
economic and political factors have tended to a
ffect children especially girls’ enrolment,
participation and retention in school
particularly in the devel
oping countries. Despite the
introduction of Free Primary Education in 200
3 and Free Secondary Education in 2008, girls
continue to be disadvantaged in
education. Sexual maturation proces
s has been identified to have
a negative impact on the education of both boys and
girls. One of the strategies to enhance and
retain girls in school is the pr
ovision of sanitary towels to needy girls especially in public
primary schools, towards ensuring girls retenti
on and effective particip
ation in education | en |
