Mozambique: A study on the barriers to girls education

This study was used to find out the reasons for the continuous drop-out of girls in Primary Education in three districts in Zambezia Province, namely Maganja da Costa, Morrumbala and Nicoadala. The study looked at the barriers to girls' education and the interlinkages between different barriers, both from a rural and semi-urban context, and attempts to establish an understanding of the relations between poverty and other causes affecting girls' access and retention to primary education.
