The findings regarding the participation of women in Educational Management reveals that Sex role stereotyping to some extent, has influenced women than men. As to organizational barriers are concerned, it has not been revealed as a major hindrance though has some effects. In addition to this, it was found out that, women lack aspiration and self concept and confidence to management p ositions in the school which hinders them to prepare themselves for leadership positions at any level in schools. Men are the ones aspiring Educational Management Positions and women to teaching. Finally, the finding shows that the culture of menta ring hasn't developed as majority of the respondents claimed to have none.
