Abstract

In the modern era, improving women's education is at the same time necessary and challenging. The goal of this study is assessment the experiences of women working in the education system in Sanandaj city and pursue continuing education. The theoretical and methodological foundations of this research are rooted in a phenomenological perspective. The sample size consisted of 16 participants, and data were collected through interviews. Data analysis was conducted using a three-step coding method, which led to the identification of five key concepts: "desire to study," "social promotion," "obstacles," "social context," and "management tactics." Ultimately, the study concluded with a core category termed "the dialectic of women management and social context."
The research findings reveal that women decide to continue their education due to personal interest, serving as role models, academic status, increasing administrative rank and salary and improving their social standing. Their decision to pursue further education is influenced by personal, family and organizational factors. Women who possessed the adcaute personal abilities and received familial and organizational support to manage their situations the least amount of stress and pressure from multiple responsibilities. Conversely, in contexts where adequate support systems were lacking and the women themselves did not have the adcaute abilities or resources to manage their situations, the pressure and tension they experienced were significantly higher.
