~Gender and Education~
Gender is a big issue in terms of education. For the most part,
there is a gap between male and female education, from gaining it to literacy rates.
There are many reasons for this but main ones can be culture, religion, lack of accessibility or
the need to keep tradition.
- - From 2009-2019 there has been at least a 7% literacy rate gap between male and female adults
(more males than females).
- - From 2009-2019 the literacy gape between young males and females has decreased from around
4.6% in 2009 to 2.3% in 2019.
- - 41% of females have/are recieving a tertiary education. This is 5% more than males.
- In 2018, 32 million girls were not enrolled in primary school, compared to 27 million boys.
~Covid-19 and it's impact on education~
Covid-19 hit 2020 hard and has affected education all over the world. From figuring out how
to do online school, to going back to physical school, it changed how the world has done education.
- - As of March 2021 57 countries worldwide has schools closed.
- - Only 26 countries have schools completely open.
- - 681.71 million students live in countries where schools are closed. This doesn't mean
that all of these students are not doing school, just not physically in school.
- - 1.5 billion students were affected by the 2020 pandemic.
- - As of July 2020, 23.8 million students were at risk of not returning to education. This includes primary,
secondary and tertiary, with tertiary students most at risk.
