It’s not girls versus boys, it’s ALL children against gender inequality
This blog provides an insightful response to the UNESCO report on boys’ disengagement in education – it argues that it is important to contextualise enrolment, learning and completion data within the larger situation of girls and boys.
Girls’ education remains a compelling entry point to tackle deep-seated inequalities in the education system, particularly in countries furthest from achieving SDG4 and especially as a response to COVID school closures. The blog proposes that gender equality in and through education is a more productive banner than boys’ education or indeed, girls’ education.
