On the other hand, the numbers of female students who graduate from higher learning institutions are still less as compared with their male counter parts due to different factors. This study was conducted with the objective of assessing major factors affecting the academic performance of female students’ in Bahir Dar University. This case study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research approaches and the data were collected from students, teachers, management bodies, student’s dean and council, and gender office. The result of this study indicated that university related factors such as university academic and administrative rules and regulations, peer pressure, lack of female role model teachers, department choice of students and providing different supportive trainings and tutorial classes by the university impacts female students’ academic performance. In addition, socio-cultural factors such as female students’ background area, educational status of parents, the perception towards their academic performance influencing factor and how these affect the academic achievement of female students. Furthermore, socio-economic factors such as economic status of parents, the expansion of khat ( Catha edulis, a green stimulant plant leaf) shops, tourist centers and night clubs around the university affect female students’ academic performance. Therefore, the government, ministry of education and the university should give due attention to promote female students academic achievement. The university should start working with regional government, city administration and community to promote female students academic achievement.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Academic performance, factors, female students, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding [author.

It is a tool that enables citizens to make all rounded participation in the development process. The participation of females in socio-economic development programs also depends on their educational backgrounds. Educating girls and women is critical not merely to achieve personal benefits but also for the improvement in the areas of human resource development of the society (Egenti and Omoruyi , 2011) .  \nThe natural environment does not distinguish males and females. However, whenever the exposure of human  \nbeings to the natural environment occurred, both sexes started to differ in the nature and depth of their experiences. Later, the gender disparity that began in a small way, get widened by political, economic, cultural and other factors ([http://info.moe.gov.et/gendocs.pdf](http://info.moe.gov.et/gendocs.pdf)) . Education is one of the social factors where by gender disparity is reflected. In the field of education, the number of educated females is very low. As the grade level in school increases, the number of female students starts to  \ndecline because of lots of factors (Mersha et al. , 2009) .  \nConsequently, higher education remains an area of learning from which women are less represented. The very few women that are fortunate enough to join higher  \ninstitutions are characterized by lower academic performance","cbCaimgLFCBh9SAc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgLFCBh9SAc","pdf",60621,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study assesses major factors affecting female students’ academic performance at Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of factors influence female students’ academic performance?\",\"answer\":\"The paper identifies university-related factors, socio-cultural factors, and socio-economic factors as key influences.\"},{\"question\":\"Where was the study’s data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected from students, teachers, management bodies, student deans and councils, and the gender office.\"}]","Factors affecting female students’ academic performance at higher education - The case of Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia | PDF",1792070447,15]
