Attitude of Parents and Teachers towards Girl Children’s Education in Subarnapur District, Odisha, India

Girl children’s education is an essential part of the education system in India. The development of the nation depends on the rate of the girl children’s education. One cannot imagine a developed society without the education of girl children. Awareness of women is necessary to move the country towards progress, prosperity, and a developed nation. Awareness of girl children will be increased through education about their rights, duties, and other education, which will impact the country’s development. Parents and teachers need to hold a positive attitude towards girl children’s education. Some parents do not think that the education of a girl’s child is necessary. Parents should be aware that the education of girl children is necessary not only for the family but also for the country. The present study is conducted to know the attitude of parents and teachers towards girl children’s education in the Subarnapur district of Odisha in India. Subarnapur district is bounded on the north by Sambalpur district and on the west by Balangir district of Odisha. The responses of 50 parents and 30 teachers were collected and it is seen that the maximum number of respondents want their daughters to be educated.
