GENDER EQUALITY: IMPACT ON GROWTH AND EDUCATION OF GIRLS AND STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE GENDER EQUALITY

Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender. In many empirical and theoretical studies, female to male ratio of education is used as the measure of gender equality that is hypothesized to have an impact on economic growth and development. In this paper includes supporting startegies to enhance gender equality in the classroom. Also it discusses how to create a more equal and balanced learning environment. An educated individual is more likely to grow up healthy and have more opportunities for employment. This increases their chance of raising healthy children, and supporting them to also get an education. When all students, both male and female, have equal access to educational opportunities, the results impact future generations.
