Abstract

Gender disparities in education raise many questions for governments and civil societies. There are many factors that contribute to the gender gap in education.

This paper discusses educational development in the country. It identifies and analyses various factors that cause gender inequality in education. Further, it also provides some policy implications to solve the gender related problems in the country.
