But since the number of women is higher than the number of men in the University, it is obvious that no gap exists in this regard. In general and during recent years, leaving the university and studies ranked higher among men due to the bad economic situations which made them leave the university to search for jobs or leave the country for better career opportunities because they were considered providers for their families.Â
