Abstract
THE SPATIAL VARIATION OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION OF RURAL FEMALES IN IRAQ FOR THE ACADEMIC YEARS (2015 & 2018)
The study aims at analyzing and explaining the reasons behind rural female’s unjoining in primary and secondary education in the governorates of Iraq, because these reasons are not consistently distributed, but they rather vary spatially and temporally according to governorates within the study area. The problem of the study lies according to geographical facts, which requires a logical explanation to know the spatial and the temporal relationships for those reasons by following a scientific methodology represented by the geographic analysis method and the "descriptive and inferential" statistical analysis approach. More specifically, by using the factor analysis method and the basic components method, to interpret the results of the questionnaire and prove the expected assumptions. It revealed the relationships in the form of factors on which the geographical variables are distributed, and which interpreted and analyzed the variables causes of each factor, in order to reach realistic conclusions and logical assumptions.
