It investigates the employment of females in the public and private sectors, and the extent of discrimination between males and females. Also, it determines the educational level of females in Oman and their participations in the development of the society.

Married women are encouraged to pursue their studies at any educational institutions. Female principals were found somehow equal to the males.
