- Matric but below Degree: 52 males and 12 females
- Degree and above: 6 males and 2 females
These statistics illustrate the educational challenges facing the community. The data shows 93 women completing primary education, 12 reaching matriculation, and just 2 achieving degree-level qualifications. The sharp decline from 93 at primary level to only 12 at matric reveals severe retention challenges during the transition to secondary education.
The extremely low number of female degree holders, just 2 compared to 6 males, reflects substantial barriers preventing women from accessing higher education in Tangrian. However, the presence of these 2 female graduates demonstrates resilience and shows that educational pathways, though difficult, can be navigated successfully by determined individuals. Strengthening support systems, addressing financial constraints, and tackling cultural barriers could help retain more girls in school and ultimately improve female educational outcomes at all levels.
