105. Some Women Speak on Access to Higher Education (1990)
Women's Education des femmes, June 1990 - Vol. 8, No. 1
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Mala Naraine
Studies show that although women enter undergraduate level programs in about the same proportions as men, they are still under-represented at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels. In gaining access to higher education women usually encounter obstacles resulting from a lack of financial resources, inadequate child care, the need to arrange special transportation (especially for those with physical disabilities), inflexible course scheduling, and outdated cultural mores which do not acknowledge women's right to have both a career and a family life.
In this article, the author discusses a study she carried out to examine some of the barriers which women may or may not have encountered and to explore the significant factors that deter women from pursuing graduate work.

107. Stories from Pinegrove (1992)
Women's Education des femmes, Summer 1992 - Vol. 9, No. 4
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
What is the effect of violence on education? There are many children in our school systems who are labeled as "hyper", socially retarded, with behavioral problems, etc. We have readiness classes for the children who are unable to function properly in regular classrooms. These children are not "bad kids" as many people believe. They are trying the best that they can to survive. So often they are asking for help through their behaviour.
In the stories in this article, some of the women tell us what they endured as children. They tell us why they couldn't concentrate during class time, why they didn't have time to study for exams, why they came to school hungry or tired. Even though these things happened many years ago, their memories are as clear as though they were in school yesterday.
