EFFECTIVE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE FEMALE-GENDER IMPLICATION FOR SOCIETAL STABILITY

There has been a good record of women's participation in both appointive and elective positions and the number of achievements attained so far. History points out the significant roles Nigerian (for instance) women played in the precolonial Kingdoms such as Oyo, Kanuri , Kano, Benin, Kaduna, and others until the colonial period where women from Aba, Lagos, Calabar played different roles in guarding against every form of discrimination and injustices. The postcolonial period till date, also lay credence to the fact that, women are not relenting in their quest for recognition and participation in the affairs of their country. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in its quest to reducing the poverty line among Nigerian women, designed programmes that include mass literacy for these women. Despite the various enactments, records have shown that the need to ensure the implementation of this convention by member states has remained a challenge. The Nigerian woman has been bedeviled with the challenge of gaining equal access to formal
education. This challenge has given rise to women not being generously counted among decision makers. All these had been enumerated in the course of carrying out this work.
