Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Education is a fundamental human right, yet gender inequality in education persists in many parts of Nigeria, including Jalingo LGA, Taraba State. Cultural, economic, and systemic barriers prevent girls from accessing quality education. Public Relations (PR) plays a pivotal role in addressing these issues by advocating for gender equity, mobilizing community support, and influencing policy changes.
Through PR strategies such as community engagement, media advocacy, and partnerships with local stakeholders, societal attitudes towards girls’ education can be transformed. Studies from 2023 highlight the effectiveness of PR in promoting gender equity in education (Eze & Musa, 2023). This research explores how PR can enhance gender equality in education within Jalingo LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Gender disparities in education persist in Jalingo LGA due to cultural biases, economic challenges, and inadequate awareness. While PR has the potential to address these barriers, its role in promoting gender equality in education has not been fully explored in the region. This study investigates how PR can drive equitable access to education.
