ABSTRACT
This study sought to examine the role of women during post covid 19 lockdowns on girl child education in Baringo County. The study employed cross-sectional survey research design. All local chiefs, education officers, nyumba kumi heads and the local girls will be targeted. A sample of 130 respondents was used by the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to arrive at the study sample size. Data Collection instruments included interview schedules, observation and questionnaires. Interview schedules were used to collect data from the nyumba kumi heads and education officers. Questionnaire on the other hand was used to collect data from local chiefs and the targeted school girls. The study used SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) to analyze data. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were used to summarize the data. From the analysis, the study found that given the requirements of learning and prevalence of boys’ education in most societies, women have great roles to ensure girls learn effectively. The study therefore recommended that the Government stakeholders and development partners should come out with interventions towards enhancing favourable girl child education learners, in particular and all learners in general, in order to enhance retention rates, especially through provision of necessary learning facilities in rural public schools.
