Attitude of Dalit Parents towards Girls Education with respect to their Socio-economic Status in Muzaffarpur Division

Abstract

The advancement and betterment of society are significantly influenced by female education. The most effective weapon for transformation is education, which can lead to females' economic and social empowerment. An individual's propensity, manner, mood, and position to react favourably or unfavourably to an item, behaviour, person, institution, event, or any other obvious aspect of their reality are referred to as their attitude. It involves the intricate organisation of evaluative attitudes, feelings, and propensities for particular actions.
The usefulness of attitude was emphasised as well by Krech and Crutchfield (1948) they described the attitude as the long-term organisation of cognitive, perceptual, affective, and motivational processes concerning specific elements of the individual's reality. Some authors make a distinction between an attitude that is expressed verbally and one that is expressed behaviourally; the latter must be inferred from overt behaviour, both verbal and nonverbal. Swami Vivekananda said there is no change in the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing. Any national strategy to eradicate gender disparity in education and attain universal education must start with making education free and required. More female instructors who, can act as role models for girls and who might put parents of young girls at ease should be hired. Giving girls access to sports can also help achieve gender equity in the classroom.
