EDUCATION Women’s Study of factors affecting women’s access to higher education. INTRODUCTION The impetus for social change as a function of basic education was in the report of the Indian Education Commission (1964-66) as written, “The implementation of the country’s efforts, the development of knowledge skills and values of the population as a whole. If this “Great Change of style” is, without a violent revolution to be achieved, there is a single instrument that can be used – education. “EDUCATION: – Education is the food of the mind focused and practical knowledge productive. Training disciplines the mind, sharpens the mind and elevates the spirit. It forms a rough and polished diamonds to an unknown wine Kohinoor multifaceted sparkling shine brighter. The development of integrated personality which takes place in the highest wisdom. This is an ongoing process. The philosopher President Radhakrishnan (1948) said: “We can not educated people without educated women. If general education should be limited to men or women, the possibility should be given to women, most probably transmitted to the next generation. “Law on Higher Education of Women : – Higher education is defined as level of schooling after the completion of 12 years. Higher education for women has acquired a greater role and responsibility in the world. Today, in the 21 Century, we can not ignore the importance of higher education for older women. The reason for their necessity and urgency is that there is no difference in the biological systems of males and females. Unfortunately, this important task of higher education of women for centuries neglected. Need for higher education of women is all the more important or third world countries where colonialism has been a major force preventing education for the masses and especially for women. Objectives of higher education for women: – For an educated society with competent men and women in agriculture, arts, medicine, science and technology and various other professions, which is also incorporated in individuals with a sense of social purpose can be cultivated.

Demand for higher education for women: men and women: – Higher education can also be considered in relation to the needs of consumers. The concept of consumer is very broad and heterogeneous. It includes young and old of both sexes. In theory, the need for higher education for men and women is the same. But ultimately the argument that men and women differ in their social and cultural needs are. The main argument that is given to women in higher education is not that higher education for women and men differently. Our main objective is that in the field of higher education, women should be equal partners. Our experience shows that up to higher education remained the preserve of men. It should now expanded its horizons and include women. The Commission on Higher Education for Women, University of Madras in 1979 rightly observed: “For women and men college education is necessary for the formation of character, the skills, creation of self-realization and personal development. “WOMEN’S main factors influencing success / failure to complete the Higher Education IN: Success: a) women are highly motivated to succeed in the academic stream. b) The basis of the merit system Education enables women to surpass. c) The prejudices against female education has been reduced.

In such a society women in their role in the cause of equality with men. Their status must be structurally identical with men. Basically, knowledge is mediated by higher education, specialist competence of practitioners. Our understanding is that by increasing the skills of women, their status relative to men and also the status of the group they belong.
