Furthermore on the situation of effect of parents‟ attitude towards girls‟ access to education, data shows that boys are always favored than girls. The study recommends that, the government should be responsible for developing programme which will facilitate to change parents‟ attitude on girls education especially in rural areas. Parents and the Government should fight against bad cultural norms and practices which hinder girl to have education. New secondary school should be made attractive and more accessible to low income parents. The teaching curriculum should also be widened to articulate skills oriented subjects in which later it will assist children to be productive in their societies as a result assist their parents. Schools should be distributed evenly to the whole areas so as to facilitate accessibility and availability to all girls in the country. The school environment should also be conducive for girls to be attracted especially on the provision of water. Government should establish a programme of building dormitories to all available schools especially for girls and all students who are far from school as this would make attraction.
