RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MARITAL SUCCESS AND THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION AMONG FEMALE PRIMARY SCHOOL
TEACHERS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Women in
Nigeria have had various challenges in order to obtain equal education in all
forms of formal education in Nigeria. Education is a basic human right and has
been recognized as such since the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration on
Human Rights. A positive correlation exists between the enrollment of girls in
primary school and the gross national product and increase of life expectancy.
Because of this correlation, enrollment in schools represents the largest
component of the investment in human capital in any society. Rapid
socio-economic development of a nation has been observed to depend on the
caliber of women and their education in that country. Education bestows on
women a disposition for a lifelong acquisition of knowledge, values, attitudes,
competence and skills. To ensure equal access to education, the National Policy
on Education states that access to education is a right for all Nigerian
children regardless of gender, religion and disability.
Many people
define successful marriages in many different ways. Many think a marriage is
successful if two people are happy together for a period of time while others
may think a marriage is successful if two people stay together until death.
Therefore, in order to find the common factors of a successful marriage it is
important to first define what a successful marriage is. For this study, I
believe the most important idea is that couples find a way to live together and
to not divorce. Therefore, the definition of a successful marriage for this
study will simply be that a marriage is successful if a couple can find enough
qualities in their partner that they would rather stay together for the rest of
their lives than live without that person. I also want to stop and mention that
although most of the following research, if not all, was conducted on
heterosexual couples; I acknowledge that some say “marriage” can be between two
committed individuals regardless of their gender.
Education
has long been a key pathway to financial, physical, and social-psychological
well-being (Brand &Xie, 2010; House, 2002; Hout, 1988), and its role in
differentiating family patterns has grown (McLanahan, 2004). College graduates
are on average more likely to get married and stay married than others, and
they are more likely to have and raise their children in marriage (Ellwood
& Jencks, 2004; Goldstein & Kenney, 2001; Martin, 2006; Raley&
Bumpass, 2003). These differences coincide with fewer resources for families at
the lower end of the educational distribution.
A growing
body of research has examined declines in marriage among the less advantaged
(e.g., Edin& Kefalas, 2005), but little has looked at variation within the
“stable-marriage” pattern (Cherlin, 2009) characteristic of college graduates.
Increasing college enrollments, particularly among women (Buchmann&DiPrete,
2006), underscore the importance of better understanding variation in the
effects of college on family life. Educational expansion has led to greater
diversity in the social backgrounds of college students – and to questions
about heterogeneity in the meaning and rewards of schooling. Skeptics worry
that increased accessibility dilutes the gains to college by drawing in
students Who are less well equipped to
succeed (e.g., Steinberg, 2010), but evidence in sociology and economics has
shown rather that men and women at the margin of college attendance, typically
the least socially advantaged, have experienced the greatest economic gains
from college (Brand & Xie, 2010; Card, 2001; see Hout, 2009, for a review).
They expand
this line of inquiry, shifting focus from how the effects of college vary in
the labor market to how they vary in the marriage market. They examine
variation in the effects of college on marriage among men and women from
different social backgrounds. What do we expect as to variation in the effects
of college on marriage, that is, which segments of the college-going population
should have greater or lesser effects? Research on the divergence of family
patterns by education has emphasized the importance of financial resources for
marriage formation, suggesting that those who stand to gain the most
financially from college should likewise be in the best position to marry. If
individuals with disadvantaged social origins stand to gain the most from
college in the labor market, they may in turn gain the most from college in the
marriage market.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The concept
of successful marriage is pivotal for the building of the home, society and the
nation at large consisting of the
happiness and wellbeing of the family members comprising of the father and the
children etc. As important as it is to maintain quality teaching and output in
our primary institution, there is the imperative to maintain a successful
marriage. Many teachers are facing more challenges balancing their career with
their responsibility of satisfying their husband and children at home. One important
factor lies with their level of education. Most people know that an alarming 40
to 50 percent of marriages end in divorce (American Psychological Association,
2015).
Research
shows that most of these divorces are not because of physical abuse or
addiction, but the two primary reasons people divorce are to either escape a
relationship that has been painful, loveless or destructive or to seek a more
satisfying single life or with another partner (Weiner-Davis, 1992). However,
people may be surprised to discover that their difficulties or unhappiness
still exists with their choice of a single life or new partner. They may think
the divorce solved the problem. Sadly the problem often still exists in their
life or with new partners.
If divorce
is truly the answer, shouldn’t the problem go away when the relationship goes
away? Shouldn’t the problem disappear when the partner gets married to someone
else? We find the opposite is true, the problem does not go away, but the
divorce rate for second marriages is 60 percent (Weiner-Davis, 1992). Also,
after a divorce a couple may expect arguments to stop, however when children
are involved marital arguments often do not cease with the divorce
(Weiner-Davis, 1992). Therefore, trying to run away from unhappiness or
arguments by getting a divorce is often not the answer. So how can people learn
to live in and enjoy a happy and successful marriage? Marital roles and career
of women go a long way in defining how gender is perceived in today’s view on
roles of the female folks. Therefore the problem confronting this project is to
investigate the relationship between marital success and the level of education
among Female primary school teachers in Enugu north local government.
