| dc.description.abstract | Typically, functional and relevant educational practices are the thrust of learning experiences that are service-oriented. Service-learning shapes the thinking and demeanour of the girl-learner to become more concerned with roots of social issues and concerns. Service-learning also helps the girl learner to become more proactive and pragmatic in resolving human challenges. Through the process of service-learning, the girl-child’s values and subsequent life choices are positively altered. When the girl-child is given educational opportunity which empowers her to use her skills and knowledge in real-life situations, learning extends beyond the classroom into the community. Service-learning gives the girl-child authentic educational experiences and enables her develop empathy for others. Thus, integrating service-learning into pedagogical services delivery will go a long way in developing and enhancing creativity in the girl-child and will also have positive influence on overall development of the nation. The paper concludes by recommending among other things that service-learning be integrated into the curriculum and that pupils, especially the females should be exposed to service-learning right from the home and the elementary school.
