World Atlas of Gender Equality in Education

5th March 2012

The UN Organisation for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) has published a World Atlas on Gender Equality in Education comprising 28 maps and several dozen tables and graphs. After a brief overview of the general trends in terms of education in the world, it then presents the situation of girls in the various educational systems in primary, secondary and tertiary education. It then looks into the differences between adult men and women in terms of literacy as well as how policies can influence inequality between the sexes in education.
