Abstract | Given that achieving gender equality is a global development agenda, girl's participation in education has been taken as one of the most important indicators. The purpose of this article is to analyze the status of girls' participation in higher education and explore the reasons behind the disparities among them. Similarly, some ways forward to address disparities of the girls' participation are also explored. To analyze the status, the secondary data have been collected from University Grants Commission Nepal (UGC-Nepal). The data are tabulated, analyzed, compared, interpreted and the conclusion is drawn. Similarly, other related documents are consulted and reviewed to make recommendations for achieving gender equality in education. Girls' participation in higher education has increased significantly from nineteen percent to forty-two percent during the thirty years. Though there exist many disparities in different groups, interventions need to start from the school education and access of technical higher education should be expanded in rural areas and to underprivileged groups.
