A new research conducted by United Nations International Children Fund in collaboration with Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders revealed that employing more female teachers would be significant to the development of education in Nigeria.on the research findings, carried out in the North and three additional states in Southern part of the country, using parents, leaders, students, faith leaders, media and trade unionists.
The stakeholders stressed that the research became necessary as there continues to be a deficit of female teachers in rural areas despite their positive and significant effect on girls’ enrolment and promotion. He said, “More female teachers are needed in northern Nigeria’s rural schools. Our research has unambiguously shown that the mere presence of female teachers has a significant and positive influence on girls’ educational outcomes. Female teachers are shown to not only influence school attendance, as evidenced by the fact that girls are more likely to enroll in schools with female teachers as opposed to schools with all-male teaching staff.
