Concluding Observations; References 330 $aEvidence of gender inequity and inequality in terms of access, retention and performance in secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa raises many questions. While transition rates from primary to secondary are higher for girls than boys, and the repetition rates are lower, girls still significantly trail behind boys in terms of secondary GER. This study documents and analyzes the extent and nature of gender disadvantage in junior and senior secondary education. It analyzes the causes of this disadvantage and identifies strategies that may be effective in reducing or eliminating it. 410 0$aAfrica Region human development series. 410 0$aWorld Bank working paper ;$vno. 14. 606 $aEducation, Secondary$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aGirls$xEducation (Secondary)$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aSex differences in education$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Secondary 615 0$aGirls$xEducation (Secondary) 615 0$aSex differences in education 676 $a372.96 700 $aSutherland-Addy$b Esi$0893398 712 02$aWorld Bank.$bAfrica Regional Office.$bHuman Development Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453914003321 996 $aGender equity in junior and senior secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa$91995794 997 $aUNINA
