Abstract:

Primary education in District Rohtak, Haryana (India) is lower than those of the male. It becomes difficult to get the targeted candidates while advertising for the vacant posts. But the primary’s’ higher education rate is significant in number. The highly educated women are not interested to go for teaching in primary schools. They have open avenues in other better professions as in general 30% posts for primary candidates are reserved in all government jobs. Moreover, the private organizations and the development partner organizations give preferences to the primary candidates which also offer attractive pay packages. On the other hand, the urban women are highly educated than those of the rural women. It is one of the important causes of more primary teachers’ participation in urban schools. While in rural areas the women are not highly educated. In many cases they have minimum level of education (SSC). But they are not so motivated to join in as primary school teachers. The causes are in consistent with the independent variables (salary, academic qualification, environment, supervision, culture) as mentioned in the chapter one. The poor salary, inconvenient school and social environment, masculine attitudes in supervision and over all masculine culture of the society cause the women less interested to join in primary school as a teacher.
