UNESCO Report Highlights Rural Gender Gap in India's Upper-Secondary Education Completion
A UNESCO report highlights a significant gender gap in upper-secondary education completion in rural India, where only 59 girls complete schooling for every 100 boys, compared to parity in urban areas. Nationally, the gender parity index stands at 0.89, indicating fewer girls than boys complete this education level. The report emphasizes that overall progress masks disparities by location and wealth, with rural and poorer girls facing greater educational disadvantages despite improvements in broader regional completion rates.
