Addressing Gender Inequalities from the Early Years of Education. Gender-Transformative Pre-Primary Education
UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti
Access to pre-primary education has increased significantly in the past two decades and, as of today, boys and girls are participating equally. However, despite this gender parity in access, the pre-primary education system does not always deliver on its potential to tackle gender inequalities and address harmful gender stereotypes and norms. In particular, children begin to gain insight into certain cultural gender stereotypes as early as the ages of two and three. There is, therefore, a need to proactively incorporate gender-responsive and gender-transformative strategies into the design and implementation of pre-primary education systems to address gender inequalities. [For the full research report, "Tackling Gender Inequality from the Early Years: Strategies for Building a Gender-Transformative Pre-Primary Education System," see ED627660.]
