Title
R4D - R4D What Impact Does the Provision of Separate Toilets for Girls at School have on their Primary and Secondary School Enrolment, Attendance and Completion
Abstract
The education of girls is increasingly recognised as an investment with many valuable returns, including the health and economic prosperity of women, their families and nations (Herz 2004). Despite recent progress in increasing girls' enrolment, statistics from 157 countries indicate that only one country out of three had reached gender parity in both primary and secondary education in 2008 (UNESCO 2010). UNESCO estimates that almost half of the 157 countries are unlikely to meet the Millennium Development Goal target “to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education no later than 2015” (MDG-Goal 3, Target 4). Thus there is much interest in identifying the most effective ways of increasing girls’ enrolment and completion.
