UNICEF Produced by: United Nations (UN) Children's Fund (UNICEF) (2005)
This first GAP report presents an ongoing evaluation of progress
towards gender parity in education. It is designed to assess progress towards
universal primary education, highlight innovations, identify obstacles, generate
discussion and provide guidance.
Section one outlines the progress
towards gender equality in education by 2005, the chapters provide a chronicle
of the history and an analysis of the challenge to get all children (girls as
well as boys) in school, or know why they are not.
Section two examines
the current state of gender parity in education in each region, identifying the
obstacles and presenting effective interventions.
The third section
presents excerpts from interviews with six people (an economist, a sociologist,
an anthropologist, an educator, an activist and a mother) talking about the
importance of gender parity, education and development.
