Question 8 • SHS Alt Geography Sem 1- 2021

Which of the following statements best describes why girls in poor, rural areas in the developing world are far less likely to complete a secondary education than boys?

Answer
A
Some societies don't value educating girls because of traditional beliefs.
B
Women are more likely to find jobs, so they don't need to attend school.
C
Boys usually achieve higher test scores on school entrance exams.
D
Many girls don't want to go to school, so they drop out at an early age.

Explanation

Traditional beliefs in some communities place less value on educating girls, which can lead families to prioritize boys’ schooling or keep girls home for other responsibilities. This helps explain why girls in poor, rural areas are less likely to complete secondary education. The claim that girls simply do not want to attend school overlooks these social and economic barriers.
