Challenges: This indicator measures the level of gender representation in the teaching profession rather than the effectiveness and quality of teaching. In countries where private institutions are substantially subsidized or aided by the government, the distinction between private and public educational institutions may be less clear-­‐cut especially when certain teachers are paid by government. The fact that some religious or private schools are not registered with the government nor follow the common national curriculum may also result in them not being included in official statistics, hence preventing a realistic assessment of the share of teachers in private education. Linked to policy: National Policies in Education, Education for All, Education Law, Five, Year Education Stragetic Plan, Education Sector Support Program Other comments: Percentage of female teachers approaching 50% indicates gender parity in the composition of the teaching force. A value of greater than 50% reveals more opportunities and/or preference for women to participate in teaching activities at a specific level, grade or programme of education.
