Synopsis

Gender inequality in education is a persistent problem in Indian society, during the past several decades, India has achieved success in Universal School Enrolment and in enacting policies to address educational inequalities especially of gender. A primary outcome of this increased focus on education and learning has been a sizeable increase in literacy rates among the Indian population from approximately 18% to 65% in the fifty years ending in 2001. However, a significant gender gap of nearly 22% still remained at the beginning of the 21st century. It is important to remedy educational inequalities since it lead to inequality in economic and other adult domains as well.Nonetheless India has still to do a lot for it; because the gaps in education with relation to gender still exist. This book highlighted the Gender disparity with references to the access of resources and educational opportunities especially employment in higher education, including economic participation and decision-making. It entails the concept that all human beings are free to develop their personal abilities and make choices without the limitations/stereotypes present in the societies, like rigid gender roles and prejudices. The authors also believed that gender shouldn’t hinder in the fairness of treatment with regard to their respective needs in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and employment opportunities.
