| Zusammenfassung: | From the Publisher: Persuasive evidence demonstrates that gender equality in education is central to economic development. Despite more than two decades of accumulated knowledge and evidence of what works in improving gender equality, progress on the ground remains slow and uneven across countries. What is missing? Given that education is a critical path to accelerate progress toward gender equality and the empowerment of women, what is holding us back? These questions were discussed at the global symposium Education: A Critical Path to Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, which was sponsored by the World Bank in October 2007. Girls' Education in the 21st Century is based on background papers developed for the symposium. The book's chapters reflect the current state of knowledge on education from a gender perspective and highlight the importance of, and challenges to, female education, as well as the interdependence of education and development objectives. The last chapter presents five strategic directions for advancing gender equality in education and their implications for World Bank operations. Girls' Education in the 21st Century will be of particular interest to researchers, educators, school administrators, and policy makers at the global, national, regional, and municipal levels. |

Persuasive
evidence demonstrates that gender equality in education is central to
economic development. Despite more than two decades of accumulated knowledge
and evidence of what works in improving gender equality, progress on the ground remains
slow and uneven across countries. What is missing? Given that education is a critical path
to accelerate progress toward gender equality and the empowerment of women, what is
holding us back?
These questions were discussed at the global symposium Education: A Critical Path to
Gender Equality and Women s Empowerment, which was sponsored by the World Bank
in October
2007.
Girls Education in the
21st
Century is based on background papers developed for the
symposium.The book s chapters reflect the current state of knowledge on education
from a gender perspective and highlight the importance of, and challenges to, female
education, as well as the interdependence of education and development objectives.
The last chapter presents five strategic directions for advancing gender equality in
education and their implications for World Bank operations.
Girls Education in the
21st
Century will be of particular interest to researchers, educators,
school administrators, and policy makers at the global, national, regional, and municipal
levels.

Persuasive
evidence demonstrates that gender equality in education is central to
economic development. Despite more than two decades of accumulated knowledge
and evidence of what works in improving gender equality, progress on the ground remains
slow and uneven across countries. What is missing? Given that education is a critical path
to accelerate progress toward gender equality and the empowerment of women, what is
holding us back?
These questions were discussed at the global symposium Education: A Critical Path to
Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, which was sponsored by the World Bank
in October
2007.
Girls'Education in the
21st
Century is based on background papers developed for the
symposium.The book's chapters reflect the current state of knowledge on education
from a gender perspective and highlight the importance of, and challenges to, female
education, as well as the interdependence of education and development objectives.
The last chapter presents five strategic directions for advancing gender equality in
education and their implications for World Bank operations.
Girls'Education in the
21st
Century will be of particular interest to researchers, educators,
school administrators, and policy makers at the global, national, regional, and municipal
levels. |
