Abstract	:	This dissertation examines the association between educational gender equality from one hand, and the Religious and Modernization Theories from the other hand, using fifty-five Muslim and non-Muslim countries from 1960 to 2010. The results indicate that less religious countries have less gender inequality in female-to-male total school enrollment. The results indicate that Religious Theory explains the gender gap in education better than Modernization Theory. Moving from being a religiously conservative country to less religious country, and increasing urbanization both have a positive effect on educational gender equality. However, the influence of the roles of religion in countries' constitutions is higher than the influence of urbanization. The negative effect of Islam on educational gender equality is not only created by conservative Muslim countries, but on average, all Muslim countries seems to have less educational equality in comparison to non-Muslim countries.
