WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CULTURAL TRADITIONS ON ...

Cultural traditions do adversely affect the education of many people in the world. Women are 
unfortunately  the most affected victims of their culture. This book demonstrates how cultural
traditions can militate against the education of women in Zambia with a focus on the Tumbuka
tribe. The evidence at hand demonstrates that patrilineal groupings are strongholds of the
patriarchal predisposition and patriarchal attitudes and cultural traditions do not recognize
women as equal partners with men. The Tumbuka women's experiences and beliefs reflect
socio-cultural traditional norms that tend to limit gender equality  and compel women to accept
and justify male domination at the expense of their own status and to regard consequent
inequalities as normal. Evidence demonstrates that the initiation rites  an active institution
for girls of pubescent age  interfere more with the school-based education of girls. The women
are active social agents as well as passive learners who will not allow the girls they are
coaching to question the purpose for some traditional practices that are oppressive and
directly cause them to fail to complete their schooling successfully.
