Abstract

Women play vital role in sustaining peace and development most especially in the education sector. In developed countries women play vital role, however in Nigeria women are still relegated due to educational, economic and political power. This paper is an attempt to re-awaken the zeal of females on their attitude; empowerment and importance to get involved in the quality of the education towards enhanced national development. It highlights the need for women participation in education system, issues and prospects in education. Descriptive survey design was adopted while 150 respondents were sampled from three local governments in Ondo state using precision of 95% confidence interval. The paper submits that the role of women cannot be undermined out of education sector to boost their social, political, economic and financial participation towards peace and natural development.
