The term gender parity refers to a numerical concept(such as figures of participation in education) whereas equality refers to the sameeducational experiences, treatment and outcomes for boys and girls (EFA, 2003/4).Primary-school enrolment has increased from 2.5 million in 1989/1990 to 7.2 million in2001/2002 (Table 2, page 34). Both boys and girls are now better educated, even if it istrue that boys have benefited more. Girls’ more modest educational participation seems tocorrelate with the smaller figures for female teachers. Figures 2 and 3, based on data fromthe Ministry of Education (2001b), show the GER for primary and secondary schools.8070605040FemaleMaleTotal3020100%1996/97 1997/98 1998/99 1999/00 2000/01 YearFigure 2.

Only one out of ten children who enter primary school complete Grade 12 of generaleducation.

Secondary-school (Grades 9-12) GER in the school years 1996/97 – 2000/01.The numbers of secondary education students have steadily increased as comparedwith the age cohort. GER was 19.3 per cent in the school year 2002/03: 24.0 per cent formales and 14.3 per cent for females. Enrolment varies substantially by region (Ministry ofEducation, 2004).Although overall access to primary education is increasing, the gender gap remainsnearly unchanged. Table 4 describes the gender gap trends between school years 2000/01and 2002/03 in primary and secondary education.Table 4Gender Gap in Primary and Secondary Education (Ministry of Education, 2004.)YearPRIMARY EDUCATION(GRADES 1-8)SECONDARY EDUCATION(GRADES 9-10)Gender Gap byGERGender Gap byNERGender Gap byGER2000-2001 20.3 14.0 3.42001-2002 20.5 13.8 6.72002-2003 20.8 13.4 9.7In primary education the gender gap persist at the level of 20 per cent in GER at thenational level.
