If dropout is high in girls secondary education why is increasing only primary enrolment not enough?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because support for transition, continued attendance and completion at the secondary level is also needed
Enrolment in primary school alone does not ensure that a girl will enter secondary school, attend regularly, and complete her education. Reducing secondary dropout may require retention measures such as transition support, safety, transport, scholarships, toilets, counselling, and family support. Option B is incorrect because higher primary enrolment does not automatically remove barriers that cause dropout at the secondary stage. Exam tip: Along with enrolment, look for indicators of transition, attendance, and completion.
