Enhancing participation of women in higher education
Description
Enhancing participation of women in higher education involves implementing targeted policies and support systems to remove barriers such as financial constraints, gender bias, and inadequate facilities. Key actions include providing scholarships, mentorship programs, safe campus environments, and flexible learning options. This strategy aims to increase female enrollment, retention, and completion rates, thereby addressing gender disparities and empowering women to contribute more fully to social and economic development.
Implementation
UNESCO focuses on the participation of women as students, faculty and management staff.
