Abstract
Female illiteracy is a social curse especially when the illiteracy has a direct impact on the cause of women empowerment. Similarly, the excessive dropout of the girls from the schools of Zhob is leaving deep imprints on the literacy rate as a whole. Overriding poverty and the lack of financial resources have triggered a seriously concerning dropout of girls from the schools. Where impoverishment of the parents prevents them from sending their children to the schools, there the government is to be held equally accountable for its obvious attitude toward the abysmal plight of education in district Zhob. To determine the exact facts and figures, the quantitative method was executed and a total of 384 people were chosen for the research. 214 of them were females and the other rest were male participants. The results of the SPSS demonstrate that the girls’ dropout in Zhob is caused by both by the negligence of the government and poverty.
