CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The attitude of parents towards female education is a topic many people frown at in the developing and undeveloped countries. It is regarded of them as taboo that female education is very important to enable matured persons especially parents acquint themselves with the efficacy of female education in the position sense.
Female education has been misunderstood by many as a means of sexual harassment due to ignorance.
The topic is considered to be paramount, as well as an important mechanism because secondary schools and higher institution of learning in our country Nigeria have been plaque with the problems of poor moral decadence among females in academics. Attempts have been made to define female education as parenthood education, education for effective or hygienic living with feminine gender as an integral Inseparable part of the individual. Female education helps the individual to develop the fullest creative skills as sexual human being at all stages of life.
As the name implies, it is perceived as the provision of female awareness or knowledge to people in the conceptual nitty gritty, female education is a comprehensive programme of individual development right from infancy to the declining year.
It is a programme designed to produce fully and charismatic desirable attitudes, values and moral behaviors amongst female, therefore the concepts of female education is broad in scope as it encompasses family and society. Teenagers in the society as well as children want to know about sex. Traditionally, children are supposed to receive information about the dangers of sex from their parents but many parents do not instruct their children about sex at all.
Eyitayo (2005) observed female education as those aspects of the curriculum whether from all or information which loyalty encompasses such topics as an anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system sexually transmitted disease or appropriate social aspects of sexuality.
In my own view, female education is designed to give correct and adequate factual information and understanding of problem of sex as its expressing development and functions.
The provision of female education is vital because the norms guiding sexual act has been broken by those societal norms, sex through parent’s teachers or counsellors and education will provide information for improving behavior and establishing personality in our society. This information should be given to all the teenagers for our children to know about sex.
Female education is concerned with the mechanics of personality and character development as well as sex information and the techniques of sex act.
Adolescence age which starts from about the age of twelve to about twenty years is a period of transition from one point of rapid physical changes or conflicting motive and expectation to another and to maturity. It is a time by which someone undergoes dramatic changes physically, socially and emotionally. In the way of entering into adolescents is exciting after all it means that one his way to become an adult. Teenagers who experience physiological changes should quite appropriately learn more about female education.
In the period of the adolescents changes takes place in the body to prepare you for sexual reproduction which takes years to complete and it affects more than the development of reproductive organs.
Girls usually start puberty between 10 to 12 with an increase in the hormone levels, notably of estrogens in girls that transformations that follows; in this period, changes which occurs begins by having monthly discharge of blood secretions and tissues debris from the uterus.
The menstrual period is usually accompanied by cramps as a dropping hormones level growth of pigmented body; Hair breast development and enlargement of pelvic girdle.
These changes causes certain amount of anxiety, insecurity and self consciousness for adolescents situation is further complicated by a lack of correct information above the normal processes of maturity and the range of which changes occurs.
