OBTAINING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR WOMEN: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Annotatsiya
Accessible tertiary education for women is a comparatively new phenomenon, which appeared only after the second part of the XIX century. Nevertheless, in developed countries, men are gaining fewer degrees and also attending less higher education since mid-1990 (Vincent-Lancrin S., 2008) [3], thus inequality for women is eradicated. However, developing countries still have much to do to overcome this issue. Because girls are seen only as domestic helpers with passive roles, what is worse, society still assumes that the main responsibility of a girl is a continuation of the generation. Particularly, in our country, it is more challenging for a woman to find a job in the private sector rather than for a man. If to consider that almost half of our population are women (50.11 %), it could be reckoned that we are losing half of our potential. This paper will discuss and explain several problems for girls in the path for their wish to obtain higher education and offer some possible solutions to solve this problem.
