Edited by Sandra L. Stacki, Supriya Baily
Part of the Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education series
Hardback
Description
While many initial education benchmarks are being met, new and continuing challenges exist for adolescent girls in the developing world.
Discrimination, violence, marginalization, and health-related issues prevail, making proper education at the middle school level crucial during this unique development time.
As we continue to see the expectations for girls grow, education for girls must also find a new place within the evolving norms of political, economic, cultural and social life.
This volume takes a global look at the obstacles and enablers in girls’ education that can have lasting institutional, psychological and social consequences.
It looks at many complex issues affecting education for adolescent girls around the world, including the underlying global demands for women in the formal workforce and the universal impact of gender-based violence, and provides a critical framework through which researchers may explore and critique these complexities.
