Academic Credentials Overview

- Matric but below Degree: 104 males and 53 females
- Degree and above: 26 males and 13 females
These numbers illustrate the educational participation patterns in the community. The data shows 231 women completing primary education, 53 reaching matriculation, and 13 achieving degree-level qualifications. The decline from 231 at primary level to 53 at matric indicates substantial retention challenges during the transition to secondary education.
The presence of 13 female degree holders represents meaningful achievement considering the overall educational challenges in Lamme Khalsa. The gender ratio at degree level, with 13 females compared to 26 males, shows a noticeable gap at the tertiary tier. This suggests that while pathways to higher education exist, women face more significant barriers than men in accessing and completing university education. Strengthening support systems, particularly during the critical middle school years, could help retain more girls in the education pipeline and ultimately improve female representation at all academic levels.
