Increasing attention has been given to the importance of achieving gender equality in education. To date, however, most efforts have focused on addressing gender parity – an equal number or proportion of girls and boys accessing educational opportunities. Although simple gender parity may be easier to measure, gender equality encompasses a wider concept, of which gender parity is only a part. Gender equality moves beyond access and requires that girls and boys also experience the same levels of quality and outcomes of education. This document consists of two sections: (i) an analytical overview informed by an extensive review of literature, and (ii) an annotated bibliography, including an overview of the sources reviewed, which serve to guide the analytical overview.
