ELIMINATION OF GENDER DISPARITY IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION

 To empower women economically and socially through education: increase the number of girls in Ghana attaining a minimum of senior high school education by 10% by 2015 and by 50% by 2024.

 This objective is linked to MDG 3 and is aimed at achieving the millennium development goal 3 in Ghana in the short term and in the long term empower women and girls because it is believed that education is life; and in educating a woman you give that woman a life worth living, a dignified life.

 Target 3.A: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015  For girls in some regions, education remains elusive  Poverty is a major barrier to education, especially among older girls  In every developing region except the CIS, men outnumber women in paid employment  Women are largely relegated to more vulnerable forms of employment  Women are over-represented in informal employment, with its lack of benefits and security  Top-level jobs still go to men — to an overwhelming degree  Women are slowly rising to political power, but mainly when boosted by quotas and other special measures

 3.1 Ratios of girls to boys in primary and secondary education in Ghana – see excel sheet and graph below.  The data below shows that over a period of 40 years, the proportion of girls to boys in primary and secondary school is still not 1:1. Boys currently outnumber girls in school.

 The movie below shows the opening of a ceremony to encourage girls to stay in school.  Organized by alumni of the school  Shows students from St. Rose’s Senior High School, Ghana. 
