If girls enrolment has increased in a district but attendance has not improved what is the most suitable conclusion in scheme evaluation?

Correct answer: Barriers to attendance such as safety facilities and family support must be examined

The direct answer is B: barriers to attendance, such as safety, facilities and family support, must be examined. Enrolment means that a girl’s name has been entered in school; attendance means that she actually comes regularly. The first indicator has improved, but the second has not, so the evaluation must investigate why. Possible questions include: Is the route safe? Are toilets and transport available? Does the school provide a welcoming environment? Do household duties, poverty or family attitudes prevent regular attendance? Option A is wrong because enrolment alone is not complete educational success. Option B is correct because it searches for the cause of the attendance gap. Option C is wrong because the scheme is directly connected with girls’ education. Option D is harmful and has no place in evaluation. Remember: enrolment is entry; attendance and retention show continued participation.
