The paper discusses the concept of girl-child education, right of child education, history of Nomads in Nigeria, cultural and religious practices of Nomads and attitude of nomadic parents towards girl-child education. The girl-child education is to make a girl-child understand herself and her capacity to exploit her environment, and involves training in literacy and vocational skills to enable her become functional in the society. The rights to education of a girl-child is free and compulsory primary education and freedom from all types of discrimination at all levels of education. Cultural practice of nomadic parents towards the education of their daughters could lead to early marriage, pregnancy, insecurity, harassment and drop-out of school. Girls education touches on fundamental issues of gender disparity. Nomadic parents believe a girl-child does not need to be educated like a male child. Their plan is for their girl- child to be married off and start procreation as early as early adolescents. In conclusion, cultural practice of nomadic parents influences their attitude in not having desire to educate a girl-child. Moreover, withdrawal from primary school for marriage is often practised by those who allow their daughters to attend primary school. It is recommended that school counsellors are to organise parents‟ conferences and use such media to discuss with parents of relevance of girl-child education to the pupils themselves, their families and the society at large.
