What are the main reasons why girls do not go to school? How can ICT be implemented in schools in a way that is helpful to girls? How can ICT help girls and women out of school?
This IMFUNDO Knowledge Bank paper seeks to explore the ways in which advances in information and communications technology and their use in education, particularly affect girls and women. Its focus is on developing countries, where girls often have substantially less opportunity to benefit from the ‘information age’ than boys, and fewer educational opportunities than people in richer countries generally.
