In Muranga District in Kenya. In most developing countries women are responsible for most of the productive activities especially in agriculture, family and community welfare.
Women are very important in any development of a country.
In spite of the important role they play in development, the education of women has lagged significantly way behind that of men. Most developing countries have tried to increase education opportunities for girls, and yet a great number of females drop out of school before they finish primary level education. 182 seventh-grade female students from nine schools in Muranga district, Kenya, were studied. Descriptive analysis and correlation between the variables was used to group variables in the two family factors and to examine their effects on student s study habits and future aspirations. It was found that each of the two family factors had an effect on achievement.
