In no society do women yet enjoy the same opportunities as men. They work longer hours and they are paid less, both in total and prorate. Their choices as to how they spend their time, in both work and leisure, are more constrained than they are for men. These disparities generate substantial gaps between how much women and men can contribute to society, and how much they respectively share in its benefits. In most countries, a fundamental aspect of these disparities is inequality in access to and performance in education. This book focuses on the main dimensions and causes of gender inequalities in education and identifies strategies whereby they can be overcome. It comprehensively analyses the issues and problems related to women’s educational development. It is hoped that the contents of this work will be of immense help to academics, policy makers, administrators, scholars and all those who concerned with women’s education and development.
