Abstract
The brief begins with a general discussion of the current gender inequalities, as identified in the interviews with stakeholders, as well as a review of studies, drawing attention to existing gaps in the provision of quality education. Thereafter, it reviews existing gender policies and outlines the challenges in implementing them. Finally, the brief makes recommendations such as school-specific gender policies; enhanced engagement between schools and communities; educator-teacher development programmes; more effective coordination of key government departments and role-players; and, lastly, consistent monitoring of set targets.-
