Abstract
The study was carried out during the month of January, 2009 on Factors Contributing to
Poor Performance of Girl Child in Mathematics in Sare Zone. The target group was class
eight female pupils.
Questionnaires were used among form class eight pupils, mathematics teachers and head
teachers of three primary schools. Oral interview was also employed to obtain accurate
information.
Analysis has shown that a number of girls who reach class eight in every school is very
low and their performance in mathematics is poor. Girls have an attitude that mathematics
are hard and that they are male subjects, peer influence from friends, family poverty, lack
of female teachers in school, socio-economic, cultural and social factors are the main
factors that lead to poor performance of girls in mathematics.
Government, teachers, NGOs and community need to work hand in hand through
educative manes, creation of awareness so as to help in improving the poor performance
of girls in mathematics.
