According to UNICEF, only 66 percent of countries have achieved gender parity in primary education. At the secondary level, the gap widens: 45 percent of countries have achieved gender parity in lower secondary education, and 25 percent in upper secondary education.
The reasons are many. Barriers to girls’ education – like poverty, child marriage, and gender-based violence – vary among countries and communities. Poor families often favor boys when investing in education.
In some places, schools do not meet the safety, hygiene, or sanitation needs of girls. In others, teaching practices are not gender-responsive and result in gender gaps in learning and skills development.
Investing in girls’ education transforms communities, countries, and the entire world. Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families.
Girls’ education strengthens economies and reduces inequality. It contributes to more stable, resilient societies that give all individuals – including boys and men – the opportunity to fulfill their potential.
But education for girls is about more than access to school. It’s also about girls feeling safe in classrooms and supported in the subjects and careers they choose to pursue – including those in which they are often under-represented.
