There are wide disparities between the proportion of men and women not only in higher education but also down to the elementary levels. Some researchers have found out that the percentage of women in higher education in Africa is less than 20 percent. ln Nyanza province for instance, record have it that the student who scored plain A in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education from Ogembo division was only one girl out of 268 students who sat for the examination in Gucha Sub county. Indeed, if this trend continues, there is fear that in future we may not be able to produce female students especially from rural areas joining professional courses such as Law, Pharmancy, and Engineering among others.
