Transforming Policy and Practice for Gender in Education: A Gender Review of the EFA Report
This critique of the 2009 Global Monitoring Report finds that the issue of gender does not come through the report as a salient or dominant one. The favorable conditions that must be developed to encourage girls to enter and stay in school are not flagged as policy priorities, although sporadic mention is made of incentives and scholarships for girls. The place of women and girls in fragile states receives little attention, and there is a significant gap in the GMR's treatment of communities and their role in educating young people – girls in particular.
