Access to Education. Female education is a good example of the enduring inconsistency between religion and culture. The importance of education was addressed on several occasions in Quran and Hadiths, all of which indicated that education should be highly valued.88 In general, education 86 Ibid. 87 Freedomhouse (2010), Special Report Section, Kuwait.

Egyptian Anglo Library, Cairo, pp. 34–36. issues in Islam are viewed in the context of an obligation to acquire knowledge. The Quran and Hadiths repeatedly emphasise the role of education in a way that made it a duty of every Muslim, male or female. For example, it was stated in the Hadiths that “Seeking knowledge is a duty of every Muslim, man or woman. Another citation from the Hadiths stated, “The father, if he educates his daughter well, will enter paradise”. Yet another stated, “A mother is a school, if she is educated, then a whole people are educated”. In early Islamic history there were many women who had a significant role in education, such as Ayisha, Prophet Xxxxxxxx’s wife, who was a famous Muslim scholar, considered one of the most important sources of the Hadiths. Another example is a woman named Xxxxxx who had a vast knowledge of literature, medicine and religion.89 On the other hand, the state of Kuwait abides by the Beijing Platform for Action, which called on governments to eliminate the disparity between women and men in the right to access all forms of education, at all levels, primary, secondary and advanced, vocational labour market training, adult literacy and lifelong learning. Kuwait was one of the countries to embrace the Beijing Platform, driven by various factors including its religious emphasis on eliminating the education disparity between women and men. During 2005, female participation in science and engineering education in Kuwait reached a rate of 40 percent or higher.90 Since the 1960s, Kuwaiti women have enjoyed access to higher education. In accordance with the 40th article of the Kuwaiti constitution, all Kuwaiti citizens are guaranteed equal, free access to all schooling phases – primary, secondary and tertiary – as well as equal access to universities and opportunities to study abroad. Significant gains have been made over the past three decades, as the percentage of young literate women today is si...

Access to Education. The university has a strategic commitment to champion access and inclusion. It has steadily grown the numbers of MD20 and MD40 students, despite there being a relatively small number of such postcodes in the North East Region and the number reducing further with the introduction of SIMD 2016. The university is working towards meeting the COWA target that students from the 20% most deprived backgrounds should represent at least 10% of full- time first degree entrants to every individual Scottish university by 2020/21. This challenge has resulted in a review of the approach towards attracting and retaining such students, which will include work to attract MD20 students living outside the North East region along with increased financial support. The Board of Governors’ commitment to this approach is reflected in its use of the Outcome Agreement measure as a key performance indicator to monitor the university’s achievement of its strategy. Identify and address under-representation from socio-economic groups and protected characteristics groups Over the course of this Outcome Agreement period the university has set MD20 targets so as to demonstrate its commitment to reaching the COWA target that students from the 20% most deprived backgrounds should represent at least 10% of full-time first degree entrants to every individual Scottish university by 2020/21. In taking account of these stretch targets it is clear that there will be a need to take three important steps: • Further enhance the pathways available to those from MD20 backgrounds in the North-East; and, at the same time • Increasingly reach and engage with those from MD20 backgrounds in other regions. • Review and extend the financial and other support available to MD20 applicants and entrants. The university has increased the proportion of MD40 entrants from 16.2% in 2011/12 to 19.3% in 2016/17, marking the university’s highest proportion of MD40 students to date. Over the same period, the university increased the proportion of MD20 entrants from 6.5% to 7.0%. It should be noted that over this period the change in the calculation of MD datazones has significantly reduced the number of MD20 zones in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire, which have been to date the most significant recruiting areas for the university’s undergraduate population. Significant resources have already been devoted to securing the university’s successive targets. A range of activities are undertaken by the university including: • Ap...
