Description
Education is essential to attain gender equality. While girls tend to outperform boys in terms of learning outcomes in schools, gender segregation in educational choices persists. The exchange will highlight best practices to enable women and girls to meet the demands of the digital transformation and to enter the currently male dominated fields of education; including science, technology, engineering, mathematics and information technology. The discussion will also address stereotypes in teaching and will consider the importance of access to quality education to empower all learners, including women facing multiple forms of discrimination, to become agents for change and specifically women and girls to make their own decisions, including regarding their sexual and reproductive health.
