The purpose of this study is to explore the student perceptions of women's presidency within the Forum for National and International Awareness (FINA), which is the highest student governing body at Sherubtse College. This research will help to clarify the existing structure of the president at Sherubtse College. A purposeful non-random sampling strategy will be used to collect and analyze data, with a total of six selected students. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted using Facebook Messenger as the medium for data collection. While taking notes, the replies will be captured using Messenger's Audio function. The captured data will be meticulously analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding approaches. The existence of discrimination within students' views towards voting a woman president for FINA is expected to be determined through this extensive investigation. Furthermore, the study intends to offer insight on how common conventional views about women's inadequacy in leadership roles influence students' decision-making mentality, particularly when it comes to choose women to the leadership positions.

Objective: The main objective of this study is to know and understand the mind of every individual regarding gender difference and math anxiety influence on boys’ and girls’ performance in mathematics because many researchers have found out that there is no clear distinction on it.Method: 60 students were randomly chosen from a total of 1531 students in Sherubtse College to be the respondents in this study and enrolled in spring 2021. There were 32 males and 28 females among the 60 respondents. The quantitative method was used for this study as the data were reliable and generalized to a larger population. In addition, the stratified random sampling was and the participants randomly from the first, the second, and the third-year base on their gender were selected. Firstly, the descriptive statistical test was conducted SPSS software to examine the significant differences between independent variable that is gender and other dependent variables such Indicators of Math Anxiety (IMA-Total) based on Parkinson's Four Factors of Emotion Theory, Math Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults (MAQA-Total), and Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS-Total) to observe gender differences regarding math anxiety amongst male and female students in the college.Findings: The statistical t-test determined that whether there was a significant difference in level of math anxiety between the two different groups such as male and female in general. The descriptive statistics indicates that there is no significant difference in math anxiety between male and female students however, there is a slight difference between gender and math anxiety in the college.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is no significant difference regarding math anxiety between male and female students of the Sherubtse College. Therefore, it can be mentioned that linking mathematics as a male dominance is incorrect and it is a stereotype because no such substantial difference was found in the study to reject the null hypothesis.
