Education is the right of every human being, which includes females at everywhere and a key for life transformation and development of the society since females outnumber the males in the world. Without education these innocent girls are denied the opportunity to develop their full potential.

It is globally known that education provides knowledge which has the potentials for empowering, social development and better life standard. Researchers such as Allen et al. (2007), Bloom et al. (2006) and von Grief (2007) have explicitly noted that education has remained the main driven force in the development and progress of societies and countries. As noted by Jekayinfa (2009), the educational system of any society is an elaborate social mechanism plan, to harness the individual certain skills and attitudes that are noted to be helpful and desirable in the society. Regarding educational importance, the United Nations General Assembly (2015) adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which state that everybody has educational rights which should be free at least in elementary and primary stages. Similarly, most states in this world including Ghana prioritizes the right of education of her citizens, regardless of gender, tribe, religion, physical disability or whatsoever.

Issues relating to education and its gender disparities in enrolment at schools are constantly being tackled. For instance, the World Bank works with other developmental organizations such as UNICEF, UNESCO and DANIDA to identify and assess interventions
