Academic Credentials by Gender
- Primary but below Matric: 446 males and 327 females
- Matric but below Degree: 121 males and 97 females
- Degree and above: 24 males and 17 females
These numbers demonstrate solid educational participation across gender lines in the community. The data shows 327 women completing primary education, 97 reaching matriculation, and 17 achieving degree-level qualifications. The transition from 327 at primary to 97 at matric shows reasonable retention during the secondary school years, with approximately 30 percent continuing beyond primary level.
The presence of 17 female degree holders represents substantial achievement in Laluke. The gender ratio at degree level, with 17 females compared to 24 males, shows fairly balanced representation at the tertiary tier. This proportionate balance indicates that women who persist through the education system receive adequate support to complete their higher education. The village’s high overall literacy rates demonstrate strong community commitment to education for both genders. Nevertheless, strengthening retention mechanisms during the critical middle school years could help more girls continue their academic journey and ultimately improve female representation at advanced educational levels, potentially achieving full parity with male achievement rates.
