Girl child school drop out

There had been a rampant girl child school drop out in Gulu district a few years back.This has been not only been attributed to lack of school fees support but the need of dowery by poor,premative and backward parents who used to marry off the girls at the tender age.It was not until last year when the woman member of parliament intervened by imprisoning whoever parent tried to exchange a daughter for dowery that the problem got solved.Thanks go to the woman m.p Betty Ochan said Bosco Ogwang.
