Gender Gap in Education

The gender gap in education refers to the differences in enrollment, attainment, and educational outcomes between males and females. In many parts of the world, girls face barriers such as cultural norms, poverty, early marriages, and lack of access to safe schools, which can hinder their education. Conversely, boys may also experience challenges, though often different. This gap can result in women having less access to opportunities and resources, affecting their career prospects and empowerment. Closing this gap is essential for achieving equality and fostering economic development in societies.
