Collect the following data by conducting individual interviews with a representative sample of the parents/guardians:
RECOMMENDED SURVEY QUESTIONS (Q) AND POSSIBLE ANSWERS (A)
Introduction: Now I am going to read different statements. Please show me on this paper the
face that best represents how you feel about each statement [show the scale provided at the bottom of this page and explain how it works, including the meaning of each face]. There are no right or wrong answers – please answer according to your feelings about each statement.
Q1: Which of these four faces [point to the scale] best represents your feelings about the following statement? ‘It is important that boys have more education than girls.’
A1: strongly agree / slightly agree / slightly disagree / strongly disagree
Q2: Which of these four faces [point to the scale] best represents your feelings about the following statement? ‘When a girl marries, she should keep going to school, even if she has to take care of their husband and household.’
A2: strongly agree / slightly agree / slightly disagree / strongly disagree
Q3: Which of these four faces [point to the scale] best represents your feelings about the following statement? ‘Daughters should go to school only if they are not needed to help at home.’
A3: strongly agree / slightly agree / slightly disagree / strongly disagree
Q4: Which of these four faces [point to the scale] best represents your feelings about the following statement? ‘Families should spend the same amount of money on educating their daughters as they spend on educating their sons.’
A4: strongly agree / slightly agree / slightly disagree / strongly disagree
Take the following steps to calculate the indicator’s value:
1) In the case of Q1 and Q3, provide 1 point for each response “slightly disagree” and 2 points for each response “strongly disagree”. In the case of Q2 and Q4, provide 1 point for each response “slightly agree” and 2 points for each response “strongly agree”.
2) Count the total number of points per respondent (the minimum can be zero, the maximum can be 8).
3) Count the number of respondents who scored at least 4 points.
4) Divide the number of respondents who scored at least 4 points by the total number of respondents. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
