- W612085433 abstract "1.1 Problem Statement Understanding the context of the access to and retention of female students in higher education in Niger requires a brief overview of the percentages of women in regards to literacy, employment and higher education in the country. As a result, the national literacy rate represented 20% in 2003 of whom 90.4% were men and less than 10% were women despite women representing 51% of the total country population (INS, 2005). In 2005, this rate became 28.7% According to the Ministry of Education (MEN), 76,368 trainees of whom 53,503 females were registered for the literacy training program in the academic year 2006-7. This shows that more than half of the literacy trainees were women. Likewise, it also implies that women constitute the least educated group, reason that pushed them to register at a higher rate than men in the literacy programs. On a different note, women are underrepresented in higher administrative jobs in both the public and the private sectors. The University Abdou Moumouni of Niamey (known in French as Universite Abdou Moumouni de Niamey UAM), for example, had 304 faculty members in the academic year 2007-2008 of whom only 31 were women (10.19%). Even worse, The Islamic University (Universite Islamique de Say – UIS which is located in Say, a small town 50 kms south-west of Niamey) comprises 52 faculty members in same year and 58 in 2008-2009 with no single woman among them. In addition, in 2008 women constituted 33% of employees in the public sector and 13% in the private sector. In 2007, female employees represented 20% of the highest paying jobs in the public sector. With the same diploma and number of years of experience as their male counterparts, they would, however, receive a salary equal to that of men. Until 2010, two public universities exist in Niger mainly UAM of Niamey, the country capitol and UIS in Say. In both universities, female students are far less than men: 10.5% in 2000, 17% in 2007 and 20.4% in 2008 in UAM and respectively 7%, 18% and 10.05% at UIS. It is worth mentioning that while UAM is a state-owned institution of higher learning, UIS is an internationally-owned university with students from all over the world especially Islamic countries. It was created by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in 1986. Only 334 out of 1091 UIS students were from Niger in 2008. Among these 334 students 96 were women exclusively studying in the faculty of Islamic studies and Arabic language, an all-girls school." @default.
