Abstract

In a previous article we discussed, in detail, the problem of this study, its aim, methods used, its limitations, and the first five of twelve barriers that were perceived to be obstacles to the advancement of women to leadership positions in the education profession, in particular, and the workplace, in general. To avoid repetition, the issues already discussed can be read as background information in the previous article. This article is devoted to the discussion of the last seven barriers that were also identified as constituting some of the hurdles women have to overcome before they are promoted to senior positions in the field of education.
