Overcoming Educational Obstacles: An Investigation of Female Higher Education in Rural Areas

Abstract

Women's education has been identified as a key catalyst for promoting development. Conversely,  a  primary  challenge  encountered  by  many  developing  nations  is  the problem  of  female  illiteracy.  This  study  focuses  on  the  obstacles,physical,institutional,and other main barriers that hinder women from seeking higher education. The study  was  conducted  in  the  rural  parts  of  Sargodha  District,  located  in  Punjab,  Pakistan. Athorough survey was produced using a pre-made formula that included structured questions. Data   from   129   respondents   was   collected   using   purposive   sampling.   Research   has established that women are more susceptible to educational disadvantages as a result of both physical  and  architectural obstacles.  The  collected  data  indicates  that  the  promotion  of women's  education  in  the  area  will  be  facilitated  through  the  enlargement  of  educational facilities   exclusively   for   females,   as   well   as   the   improvement   of   transportation   and infrastructure.
