some of the problems of female education at primary level in Punjab are:

 Gender discrimination in curriculum: A study by Jabeen, Chaudhary, and


Omar1 found that the national language textbooks used in primary schools in
Punjab reflect gender stereotypes and male dominance, and limit the role and
representation of females. The study suggested that the curriculum should be
revised to promote gender equality and diversity in the society.
 Problems of school education in general: A paper by Netragaonkar2 discussed
the various problems faced by the school education sector in Punjab, such as
low enrolment, high dropout, poor quality, inadequate infrastructure,
insufficient resources, and ineffective policies. The paper recommended that
the government should increase the investment and allocation of funds for
education, improve the management and regulation of the system, and
ensure the participation and empowerment of all stakeholders, especially the
teachers and the students.
 Challenges to primary and upper primary education: An article by
Techplusmedia3 highlighted the challenges faced by the primary and upper
primary education in Punjab, such as underpaid teaching staff, poor
infrastructure, and an unmotivated student population. The article also
mentioned the gender disparity and the resulting financial and societal
obstructions that prevent girls from accessing primary education. The article
suggested that the government should provide more incentives and support
for the teachers, improve the facilities and materials of the schools, and
promote the awareness and value of girls’ education in the society.
 Policy to recruit female teachers in boys’ schools: A study by Cheema4
examined the prospects, problems, and challenges of the Punjab
government’s policy to recruit female teachers in boys’ schools. The study
found that most of the female teachers had positive responses to the policy,
but they also faced some problems regarding their adjustment in boys’
schools, availability of combined staffroom, attitude of male students, and
difficulty to maintain discipline in male students’ class. The study suggested
that the government should provide more training and guidance for the
female teachers, and ensure their security and respect in the boys’ schools.
 Problems faced by female teachers at primary level: A study by Khan5 explored
the problems faced by female teachers at primary level in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, which is another province of Pakistan, but may have some
similarities with Punjab. The study found that the female teachers faced
problems such as low level of educational qualifications, lack of professional
training, low salary, delayed promotion, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient
teaching materials, and lack of security. The study suggested that the
government should improve the selection and recruitment process of the
female teachers, provide more opportunities and incentives for their
professional development, and ensure their support and recognition in the
society.
