| Resumen: |
To mark International Women’s Day, UNESCO and the UIS have jointly released the World Atlas of Gender Equality in Education, which includes over 120 maps, charts and tables featuring a wide range of sex disaggregated indicators.
The information and analysis calls attention to persistent gender disparities and the need for greater focus on girls’ education as a human right.
The atlas illustrates the educational pathways of girls and boys and the changes in gender disparities over time. It hones in on the gender impact of critical factors such as national wealth, geographic location, investment in education, and fields of study.
It also provides a perspective on the progress countries are making towards gender-related targets set by the international community under Education for All and the Millennium Development Goals.
