        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

<Button Content="Submit" x:name="submit" />

You have a lot of unnecessary StackPanels. If you only have a single item in your DataTemplate you don't need to wrap a container around it. You can safely delete all of them. As a general style pointer, 'education', 'college' and 'mark' are all properties on the object being passed into the ListView. These should be Capitalised. — goobering, Jul 30 '15 at 08:50

You already use {Binding ...} everywhere in the cell templates, those bindings are TwoWay by default, so any user input would/should automatically be passed to underlying data objects. However, I don't see any binding on ListView.ItemsSource property, so most probably you forgot to prepare the dataobjects. Create a collection of dataitems, bind them to the ItemsSource, let the ListView display them and celltemplates with bindings should update the dataitems' properties with no extra work from your side. When submit is pressed, just check the collection of dataitems, all the data entered should be already there (assuming you made all models and bindings properly).

This could be the example for change in your code to work fine:

<ListView x:Name="myListView" 
                  HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                  ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myCollectionViewSource},XPath='Party',Mode=TwoWay}">

            <ListView.View>
                <GridView>
                    <GridViewColumn Width="100" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding XPath='Contact'}" Header="Contact"/>
                    <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding XPath='Qty'}" Header="Q"/>
                    <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding XPath='Amount'}" Header="Amt"/>
                    <GridViewColumn x:Name="tbTot" Header="Tot">
                        <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <DockPanel>
                                    <TextBox LostFocus="TextBox_LostFocus" Width="100" Text="{Binding XPath='Text'}" />
                                </DockPanel>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    </GridViewColumn>
                </GridView>
            </ListView.View>    
        </ListView>
