Abstract
Abstract Post-secondary education (PSE) is an important factor predicting a person's success in life. One group that would benefit from obtaining PSE are young women from ethnic minority groups. The current study focuses on young Bedouin women, one of the most marginalized minority groups in Israel, with the aim of exposing the barriers they face on their way to acquiring PSE. The study focuses on groups with 11 Bedouin young women, ages 20-22. The findings revealed that these young women face many barriers that are expressed at the structural level and at the gender-family level. To increase the participation of young Bedouin women in PSE, it is necessary to intervene and promote their academic achievements and aspirations, beginning during primary school and continuing until their actual integration into PSE. There is also a need to develop programs that will increase family support for women’s education.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
