摘要:Girls’ education is an imperative factor for enhancing their socio-economic status in a society.It has been recognized as a necessary prerequisite to a sustainable social development.Using descriptive research methodology, this research is aimed at exploring the influenceof parents’ attitudes toward girls’ education in rural Bangladesh. Findings revealedthat traditional norms, in many ways, hindered female educational accomplishment atthe primary level. It was also revealed that male dominated societal norms, religiousmisinterpretation and low awareness levels limit female education. As a policy initiative,pursuing gender awareness programs addressing parents’ attitudes toward girls wouldresult in positive changes in this regard.
