Abstract: Male domination remains an epidemic in the primary education teaching field. This makes girl education challenging as female teachers are less recruited to fill the gender gap. High level girls drop-out rates in mixed primary schools results from male teachers, lack of knowledge on how to address gender specific needs of girls .What worsens discrimination of female teachers recruitment are the lame beliefs held by head teachers who think that female teachers cannot handle aggressive pupils in the school. Influenced by head teachers and clan leaders, the ministry of education recruits male majority teachers without thinking wisely on the gender specific challenges of individual pupil’s even then male teachers are not qualified. The major argument in this thesis needs to be balanced taking into consideration the fact male teachers are less knowledgeable and approachable by female pupils’ critical or sensitively silent challenge. Girls’ drop-out rates cannot be overcome without recruiting more female teachers in mixed primary schools in Somaliland.
