It depends where they are in the world. Islamic girls in the US, and most if not all Western countries, are required by law to attend school. There are still many places in the Middle East where females are not allowed to be educated, because the man is considered the only one who needs it. Women there are generally expected to cook, clean, and make babies.

Answer
It is difficult to separate religious beliefs from repressive cultures and patriarchal traditions in the Islamic world.

In most places Muslim girls are educated selectively. They do not have the same educational opportunities as boys. Education of girls is sporadic and there are sweeping differences from region to region. In traditional interpretations of Islam, education is extremely restricted for girls. Another hindrance is marrying young since so many Muslim girls are encouraged or forced to marry while still in adolescence they have little time for school. Few husbands are comfortable with the idea of an educated wife. Total control is easier to maintain if the subjects are denied education.

The schools for girls are small, closed in and have a scarcity of resources. The teaching is low level although there are pockets of dedicated people trying to run good schools in various places. Few families want to pay for a girl to get a good education at a good school. Whether or not a girl get a good education is up to her father. Some enlightened (usually upper class) father's see to it that their daughters get a good education.
