Gender equality in education – a discussion on the 2019 Global Education Monitoring Report Gender Review

Group Submission Type: Formal Panel Session

Proposal

This panel will discuss a proposed new monitoring approach to gender equality in education; and the thematic discussion around the relationship between education, gender and migration/displacement, as will be presented in the upcoming 2019 GEM Report Gender Review.

This panel continues the annual tradition of presenting the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report Gender Review at the Comparative International Education Society Conference. The panel brings together key experts on gender equality in education to discuss findings from the Report and engage in lively debates on the policy and research implications for the gender and education community.

Following an initial 30-minute presentation of the Gender Review, the discussants will have 10 minutes each to relate their gender expertise to the Gender Review’s findings and push the discussion further. This will be followed by the remaining time for open conversation with the attendees.
