Abstract
The study focuses on finding socio-cultural factors which pose to be a serious threat to
female education at higher level. It tries to identify those factors which marginalize
them in education. The descriptive- natured work raises research questions related to
various factors i.e. scope of female higher education, security concern about female
higher education, cultural and religious constraints and financial constraints towards
female education at tertiary level. Government secondary school teachers (male and
female) from 3 tehsils of district Mianwali: Tehsil Mianwali, Esakhel and Piplan
constituted the population. The convenient random sampling technique is used to
select the sample of 300 teachers. A questionnaire was developed to evaluate the
teachers' perceptions about the four research variables on female’ tertiary level
education. The data was collected from male and female teachers of secondary schools
of Tehsil Mianwali only. The descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentage,
mean score and standard deviation are used to analyze and summarize the data. The
questionnaire comprised of demographic details which included name and gender.
Responses of both the genders were collected and research variables i.e., scope of
female tertiary level education, security concerns about female education,
socio-cultural and religious restrictions, financial constraints and factors in the way of
higher education among female were investigated. The researcher passed it through
proper validation and similarity for its reliability, Cronbach alpha was also calculated.
The major findings of the study are that majority both male and female favoured the
importance of higher education for female students and the religiously rigid parents
are against the tertiary level education of female. Financial problem becomes hurdle
on the way of female education. The parents are worried about the security of their
daughters, similarly social and cultural constraints keep them compelled to avoid
girls’ higher education.
