Barriers have arisen for women in certain fields.

Officials argue that some restrictions have been carried over from the previous regime's education system, while compulsory military or security services in some fields continue to hinder women's participation.

These changes have also affected the educational plans of the 23-year-old student of Damascus, Lin Najab. She is studying Mechatronics Engineering and wanted to do Masters degree. He says that now he will have to think again about his future and may have to move to another province to continue his education.

According to Najab, it is not easy for Syrian women to study in another province. Apart from the problems of accommodation in student hostels, it is also considered undesirable for women to live alone in a conservative society. He says that parents often do not allow their daughters to study in other cities due to security concerns or social norms.

Women can still study the subjects taught at these institutions at other general universities and colleges, but they may face additional difficulties.
