GENDER SERIES VOLUME II: Education, 2004-2014

The purpose of this report was to assess the country’s progress towards achieving improved access to and quality of education through a gender lens. The general analyses in the report covered trends over a 10 year period (2004 and 2014). The period of data analysis largely depended on the availability of data as well as survey/administrative data collection cycles both for internal external
data sources. Statistics presented in the report confirmed that the country has indeed made significant progress towards achieving universal access and equal education for both boys and girls. However, challenges were also identified around a number of issues.
