At AAST, our commitment to promoting gender inclusivity in higher education is strengthened by a comprehensive system for tracking access measures. We have developed a sophisticated desktop application systematically tracks and monitors women's application and admission rates across academic programs. This technology allows us to assess the effectiveness of our outreach and admissions processes, addressing potential gender bias and ensuring transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in fostering equal opportunities for female students. By leveraging this tool, we reinforce our dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every woman has equitable access to educational opportunities, regardless of gender.
This initiative aligns with AAST's broader mission to champion diversity and empower all students, particularly marginalized groups, in their academic pursuits. Many students who benefit from these efforts come from refugee backgrounds, including regions like Syria and Palestine, further emphasizing the intersection of marginalization and the challenges faced by women rights in education.
The figures below illustrate the tracking of access measures for graduate students compared to female graduates, categorized by graduation types for the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 academic years for undergraduate students.
