This paper summarises some findings of my doctoral study that
explored various factors affecting women participation in higher
education in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Pakistan. Qualitative (semistructured and focussed-interviews) and quantitative (semi-structured
questionnaires), mixed-methods research and data collection tools
were used. My respondents were from 4 colleges of Pukhtunkhwa; 40
(initial survey) and 172 (Audit survey). Subsequently, in Post survey, 4
in-depth focussed-interviews were held with one each randomly
selected student of the colleges. However this study is based on some of
my qualitative data analysis only. The sample women highlighted
economic status, medium of instructions of our dual education system
and misunderstanding of religion Islam were the main stumbling blocks
in their way to higher education. A major finding is the paradoxical
role of men in the life of women to encourage them for higher
education. My study recommended women only higher education
institutes throughout the country for increased women participation in
higher education.
