The study was a mixed approach investigation which involves index of qualitative variation that measure the dispersion of quantitative way that are available at nominal level variable through triangulating with qualitative inquires. The investigation of this qualitative approach was using purposive sampling through which case studies, personal observation, FGD and semi-structured interview was employed. The information gathered was organized and analyzed using tabulations showing both percentages and index of quantitative variations. The quotation of field narrations were also included. The result indicated that the major barriers to female students' college education in classroom participation of formal education were both the cultural and traditional values and their prospects for educational opportunities. Traditional beliefs, practices and proverbs perpetuate gender imbalance in terms of educational achievements and classroom performance.

The primary objectives of this research endeavor revolve around delving into the teachers' levels of awareness, tolerance, and experiences concerning dialectal variation within the language. Furthermore, the study aims to identify the diverse types of dialectal variation exhibited among the students, explore the respondents' attitudes towards language standardization, and investigate the underlying factors contributing to linguistic bias among instructors. In order to achieve these objectives, the study involves a diverse sample of participants from the selected institutions, totaling 48 respondents, including 39 students and 9 instructors. Data collection techniques encompass a comprehensive approach through interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, while the subsequent analysis relies on robust quantitative methods. The study's findings shed light on the limited knowledge, awareness, and tolerance that instructors possess regarding dialectal variation in the Afan Oromo language. However, both students and instructors demonstrate a predominantly positive attitude towards the idea of their respective dialects evolving into standardized forms. Moreover, the study uncovers how the lack of teaching experience, higher levels of education, and minimal exposure to linguistic courses, particularly in the domain of dialectology, contribute to the manifestation of linguistic bias among instructors. The primary forms of dialectal variation affecting students' academic performance are identified as lexical, morphological, and syntactic differences. Based on the comprehensive analysis, the study advocates for the incorporation of experienced instructors within the institutions, the enhancement of instructors' educational qualifications, and the integration of linguistics courses into the teacher and student training programs. These proposed solutions hold the potential to address the identified issues and foster an improved language teaching and learning environment within the Afan Oromo-speaking communities.
