Chapter 7 - Gendered strategies for EFA
PDFDonwload this chapter in PDF

   
The-right-answer---Sainte-A.jpgThe world as a whole is moving closer to reaching the EFA goals and there are many successes to acclaim. There have been major strides towards UPE, as measured by net enrolments, in South and West Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and in some of the Arab States. There has also been a strong global move towards greater gender parity, particularly at primary level, where the proportion of girls to boys enrolled has improved from 88% to 94% over the past decade. But many countries, despite great efforts, have made little progress. Population growth has remained strong and, partly because of this, the number of the world’s children who remain out of school declined only marginally –by about 3%– over the decade. Furthermore, the gender balance at higher levels of schooling in the poorer developing countries is strongly dominated by boys and much remains to be done to achieve gender equality in education in most parts of the world. This final chapter focuses on future national and international strategies to achieve EFA, with particular emphasis on the gender goals.
