Despite progressive policies and initiatives aimed at increasing enrollment of girls in schools, many barriers continue to hold them back. One of the biggest challenges is poverty. Families struggling financially often prioritize their sons' education over their daughters'. Girls are expected to help with household chores or marry early, which takes precedence over their education.

Cultural attitudes also play a significant role in perpetuating gender disparities in education. In some communities, educating girls is seen as unnecessary because their primary role is viewed as a caregiver. Additionally, a lack of safe transportation, proper sanitation facilities, and gender-sensitive learning environments further discourages families from sending their daughters to school.

Addressing these barriers requires a multi-faceted approach, including policy enforcement, raising awareness, and community engagement to shift mindsets. Only when these challenges are tackled can girls access the education they rightfully deserve
