129 million girls are currently out of school.

Not even one in two countries has achieved gender parity in primary education. In upper-secondary education that’s a meager 24%. And when enrolled, girls face system gaps that widen the gender divide in learning and skills development.

We explore the views of specialists on what can be done differently to make girls’ education not only a priority but a reality.
