Abstract
According to Brigham Young, “If you educate a man, you educate one person. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation.” This quote gives a clear indication that when we educate a woman we educate an entire nation, and ultimately the nation gets developed. So, the progress of a nation is largely depending upon the progress of a woman. Without women, a nation can’t be developed. This paper gives the impression that the goals of education for girls in general, and Muslim girls in particular are directly connected with the progress of the nation as a whole. Many studies indicate that the educational status of Muslim women is relatively low compared to their male and female counterparts. This paper is an attempt to analyze the factors that are responsible for the educational retardation of Muslim women at the tertiary level. As a result, the present article highlighted a number of causes for Muslim females' low educational standing at higher levels of education as well as offered some recommendations and ideas. The report then offers some of the recommendations suggested by NEP-2020 for promoting the inclusion of girls in the higher level of education in order to advance their socioeconomic and educational status.
