Much has been written recently about the global progress made toward gender parity in enrolment and curriculum in nations around the world. And there is much to tout in these areas. Although gender parity is not yet the global norm, the expectation of gender equality increasingly is. Some have gone so far as to say that the global expansion of modern mass schooling has created a world culture of gender equality in education. Yet, while there have been many positive advances regarding girls' and women's education around the world, there are still significant differences that are institutionalized in the policies and administrative structures of national education systems. For example, some of the strongest evidence of gendered inequality in schooling is the fact that in many developing countries there are large proportions of school-age children who are not in school - many if not most of whom are girls. The question this volume investigates is whether gender equality in education is really being achieved in schools around the world or not. 410 0$aInternational perspectives on education and society ;$vv. 10. 606 $aEducational equalization 606 $aSex discrimination in education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation$xInternational cooperation 606 $aEducation and globalization 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 606 $aSocial groups$2bicssc 606 $aEducation$xGeneral$2bisacsh 615 0$aEducational equalization. 615 0$aSex discrimination in education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aEducation and globalization. 615 7$aEducation. 615 7$aSocial groups. 615 7$aEducation$xGeneral. 676 $a371.822 701 $aBaker$b David$f1952 Jan. 5-$01498528 701 $aWiseman$b Alexander W.$f1968-$0851927 801 0$bMERUC 801 1$bMERUC 801 2$bGPM 801 2$bE7B 801 2$bZJC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777939003321 996 $aGender, equality and education from international and comparative perspectives$93724113 997 $aUNINA
