In a world in which poverty, social prejudice and poor-quality
provision cause an estimated 100 million girls to drop out of
school before completing their primary education, it is not enough
for governments to pledge themselves to increase girls' access to
school. This book presents a vision of a transformational education
which would promote social change, enable girls to achieve their
full potential and contribute to the creation of a just and
democratic society. Contributors to this book examine the extent
and causes of gender-based inequality in education, analyse
government policies and their implications for women's empowerment
and report on original field-work in a range of local contexts
where gender-equality initiatives have flourished. In their
introduction and their concluding chapter Sheila Aikman and Elaine
Unterhalter consider the challenges that confront policy makers,
practitioners, campaigners and researchers if they are to make real
progress towards gender equality in education, in the context of
the Millennium Development Goals.
