Re-Orientation of Negative Socio/Cultural Practices for Enhanced Participation of Technology-Related Programmes by Female-Students in Ghanaian Universities
Abstract
This article is an extract from a PhD qualitative data-gathering research conducted in the year 2017. One of the themes of the research was focused on some of the socio/cultural issues that discourage females in pursuance of their technology-related programmes. A unique issue found to be hampering females’ study in this area was female-students’ denial in touching technological tools such as the saw during their Community Service (CS)in some communities in Ghana. The females therefore achieved no practical skills though this practice was graded. The disregard for this part of training which forms part of the formal education must not be allowed to gain momentum ,so ought to be trampled else the issue of egalitarianism is defeated for females studying applied science programmes. The stomping of this needs urgent attention
