In the week of International Women’s Day (8 March), this seminar is an opportunity to engage with those seeking to make gender equality in education a reality.
The seminar is hosted as part of the work of Accountability for Gender Equality in Education (AGEE): Bridging the local, national and global, a collaborative research project, led by University College London (UCL) in partnership with UNESCO and the University of Malawi. The project seeks to redefine how gender equality in and through education is understood, measured, and advocated for globally.
Reflections on these themes will be presented from UNESCO and representatives of the governments in Indonesia, Malawi and Kenya, who work on gender and education policies. Some of the AGEE initiatives will be outlined to support thinking about gender equality in and through education in ways that goes beyond basic gender parity indicators, using a more comprehensive and participatory approaches to data collection, usage, and advocacy.
This work is supported by the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange, a joint endeavour with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, policymakers, and individuals interested in current affairs from international organisations.
