| Abstract
|
:
|
With over 120 maps, charts and tables, the UNESCO world atlas of gender equality in education enables readers to visualize the educational pathways of girls and boys in terms of access, participation and progression from pre-primary to tertiary education."The education of girls and women is important not only as a matter of respecting a basic human right for half the population but as a powerful force for economic development and achieving social goals such as enhanced health, nutrition and civic involvement. This Atlas presents the latest data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics on trends in educational access and progression, from pre-primary through tertiary levels and adult literacy, with special attention to the all-important issue of gender equality. These trends are depicted through colour-coded maps that make it easy for readers to visualize global and regional trends and to understand how they are shaped by factors such as national wealth and geographic location."--Page 4 of cover.
