Abstract

This article presents results of a study examining the relationship between principals’ gender and female students’ enrolment in rural Nigerian communities. The study was to determine whether female students’ enrolment was higher in schools managed by male or female principals. Data on female students’ enrolment and principals’ gender in 1,296 rural public co-educational secondary schools between 1999 and 2003 were analyzed. Results show that female students’ enrolment was higher in schools managed by female principals. The implication is that rural female students appear to prefer schools managed by female principals to those managed by male principals. It was therefore recommended that more female principals should be deployed to rural secondary schools to enhance female student enrolment.
