This volume of "International Perspectives on Education and Society"
investigates the often controversial relationship between gender,
equality and education from international and comparative
perspectives. 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.
