Abstract: This study explores the influence of primary education on the cognitive development and future opportunities of girls in Malda District, West Bengal. It aims to understand how access to quality primary education affects the intellectual growth of young girls, shaping their ability to succeed in higher education and their future careers. The research investigates various aspects of cognitive development, including language skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking. Additionally, it examines the role of socio-economic factors, cultural influences, and institutional support in enhancing or hindering educational outcomes for girls in the region. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights through interviews with teachers, parents, and students. The findings highlight the positive correlation between primary education and cognitive growth, as well as the long-term impact on girls’ self-confidence, decision-making abilities, and opportunities in higher education and employment. By identifying key factors that contribute to or limit the development of cognitive skills, this paper provides valuable insights for policymakers and educators to improve the educational system and promote gender equality in Malda District.
