The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to understand the interventions used to enable girls in primary schools in Jakiri to have a basic education. The research questions also focused on determining whether the interventions were the same for girls and boys and identified areas in further need of interventions and improvement. The literature review disclosed a gap in the literature on the interventions used for girls in primary schools in Jakiri. Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory was the conceptual framework used to guide the study. Seventy participants were involved in the study, responded to questionnaires, participated in interviews, and engaged in focus group discussions to provide information on their lived experiences with interventions used for girls in primary schools in Jakiri Sub Division. After the interviews and focus group discussions were recorded, and all the data were transcribed and analyzed using Lofgren's six-step analysis, six themes emerged from the study. The results of the study revealed interventions used for girls in primary schools in other locations were also used for girls in primary schools in Jakiri, but the latter had other interventions specific to their settings given their economy, culture, system of education, history, and geographic location. Stakeholders can use the results of the study to improve upon interventions used to boost girls' education.
