How can we continue to improve girls’ education?
October 11 was the International Day of the Girl Child and education experts across the world took the time to reflect on the state of girls’ education. Although there have been significant strides in gender equality in education over the last fifteen years, particularly in access to education, it is widely acknowledged  there is much work to be done to close the gender gaps.
 
In alignment with the international focus on girls’ education, the Brookings Institution Press released the latest book co-authored by Gene Sperling and Rebecca Winthrop, entitled What Works in Girls’ Education: Evidence for the World’s Best Practices. You can download a PDF version of the book for free here: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Press/Books/2015/what-works-in-girls-edu/What-Works-in-Girls-Educationlowres.pdf?la=en
 
Analysis
"So what will it take to close those large and troubling gaps? The short answer is that it’s a complex challenge, requiring many different critical interventions. Among them are commitments to analyze the barriers to girls’ education, collect gender-specific education data and plan and enact policies that allow more girls to unlock their full learning potential."

"When we focus resources directly on girls’ empowerment, beginning with the poorest girls, boys and the rest of the society benefit. Whereas “trickle down” doesn’t work, “trickle up and out” often does."
