Abstract:

 

Many regard Saudi Arabia as a conservative and religious nation with a perception of some degree of neglect or discrimination towards its female population. This deters many to realize the kind of revolution this nation is going through, especially in the field of education. Many might not realize that the kingdom of Saudi Arabia has state of art educational institutions with best possible equipment and infrastructure in the world. In addition, the government is providing very lucrative scholarships to hundreds of thousands of its man and women to study abroad in a country of their choice to acquire the best possible education in their field of study. A very high degree of emphasis is laid on the education of its female section of the society. In this article, we look at sociocultural issues and their influence on education.
