Produktbeschreibung
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"(Nelson Mandela). In sub-Saharan Africa countries like Uganda, where free access to secondary and Higher Education, which are necessary for the development of a skilled and knowledgeable labour force, continues to elude females (Abal & Khamis 2012). Notwithstanding Uganda's affirmative action policies that openly favoured women's progress in education, various factors adapted from Bronfenbrenner's ecological cycle (2005) were found to combine to lower the academic performance and aspirations of girls even when they did remain in school. This book captured women's voices at Makerere University, Uganda, to highlight barriers, enablers and strategies adapted by women in their pursuit of higher education. Moreover, a nation that wants stable population growth, healthier citizens and a large labour force must consider women's education as a major priority hence breaking the cycle of female deprivation throughaccess to education.The author hopes to make a significant contribution, so that women's education is more effectively represented as a means towards achieving targets set by several Human rights mandates.
