| Abstract: This paper identified the challenges female students faced in tertiary institutions in Nigeria. A disparity was discovered to exist in enrollments of males and females in tertiary institutions in Nigeria with females highly discriminated against. There is a report of low enrollment of female in science and technology related courses at the University level of education and that females take the least resistance by opting for disciplines designated as females such as liberal arts and Nursing. Most of the challenges faced range from religion, parental educational background and economic (poverty) factors among others. This paper posits that if a nation is to develop, empowerment of female gender is critical to overall achievement, so as to strengthen their roles in societal and sustainable development. The paper recommends that special interest be paid to the education of women so as to realize their potentials for self-actualization. |
