Synopsis

While many initial education benchmarks are being met, new and continuing challenges exist for adolescent girls in the developing world. Discrimination, violence, marginalization, and health-related issues prevail, making proper education at the middle school level crucial during this unique development time. This volume takes a global look at the obstacles and enablers in girls' education that can have lasting institutional, psychological and social consequences.
