Abstract
Women enrollment in formal education is significantly helpful for the progress of a nation. Therefore, it is essential to know what kind of barriers and difficulties women encounter in pursuing formal education in Bangladesh. Surprisingly, in Bangladesh, even after taking many initiatives by the government, the participation of women in formal education is not satisfactory. On this backdrop, the present study aims to figure out the obstacles and difficulties that demotivate women deciding on their further education in schools and colleges. The respondents of this research are 20 girls aged between 08-32 years and dropped out from the school level. The research area of this study is a village of Parulia in Mohammadabad Union, under Joypurhat Sadar Upazila, Joypurhat District, Bangladesh. The present research adopts a case study method and data has been collected by unstructured face to face interviews conducted from July 15 to July 17, 2024. The outcomes show that women's participation in formal education is disrupted by such factors as child marriage, insecurity, poverty, social ideologies and neighbor’s gossip, which ultimately leads to the ending of their formal education in Bangladesh. Among these factors child marriage is the prominent one.
