The same trend is observed in Oman, where women can be seen working in large numbers in the services sector, especially in the Financial sector. Although they form such a large proportion, almost 50%, of the working population, they still lag behind when it comes to career advancement. This study tries to identify the barriers to career advancement of women in the financial sector in Oman. Some of the statistical tests used are Chi-square and descriptive statistics like Mean and Principal Component Analysis. A definite association was found between the barriers identified and career advancement of women in the financial sector in Oman.<#LINE#>@ @ CIA, World Fact book, Sultanate of Oman https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook /.../mu.html  (2012) @No $ @ @ Sultanate of Oman, Ministry of Information, Banking Sector www.omaninfo.co.uk/index.php (2012) @No $ @ @ ILO, Employment Papers www.ilo.org(2011) @No $ @ @ ILO Department of Statistics-Laborstalaborsta.ilo.org/ (2011) @No $ @ @ Harthy F.

It is simply the office-holding. Leadership is an art to influence people so that they strive willingly and enthusiastically towards achievement of group goals. This twenty-first century will be much advanced than the past centuries. The persons at the helm of educational institutions will have a strong responsibility to produce efficient manpower to meet the needs of the century. For this purpose not only formal office-holding but also effective educational leadership is a need of the day. In the present article we have thrown some light on this vital issue. <#LINE#> @ @ Sharma K.N., Philosophical and sociological foundation of education, Ratna Book Store, Kathmandu, Nepal, (2003) @No $ @ @ De Sarkar P.K., Higher English Composition, P.
