Guidance for Developing Gender-Responsive Education Sector Plans
These guidelines on developing gender-responsive education sector plans provide readers with the information and tools needed to take a fresh look at gender equality and why it matters in education. Over the past fifteen years, the Millennium Development Goals and Education for All initiatives have shaped the efforts and investments made in education by developing country governments, donors, and other partners, leading to tremendous gains in access. Around the world and particularly in developing countries, there are more schools, more trained teachers, more textbooks, more toilets, and more girls and boys in school than ever before. And yet many barriers remain for the millions of children still seeking to get into school and, for those in school, to learn.
