Gender Equity in Early Childhood Education

Kenya

Kenya exemplifies the need for deeper consideration of how early childhood programs can impact parents' traditional gender beliefs. Despite gender parity (equal enrollment of boys and girls) at the early childhood level, girls drop out of primary and secondary at higher rates than boys.  Gender attitudes held by parents, which place boys' education and career prospects, indicate the need to directly address these gender attitudes in early childhood programs in order to ensure the long-term education benefits for girls.
