Deep-rooted gender inequalities continue to undermine India’s potential to translate economic growth into inclusive development, according to a government report which highlighted the inequality found in the education system.
It says gender is the most pervasive form of inequality that operates in India across all classes, castes and communities, posing a big challenge despite the progressive education policy.
The ‘Report on the Implementation of Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action’ says that issues of gender have been one of the most challenging in the progress made towards the goals of universalisation, inclusion, equity and quality in education.
The report will be submitted by Union Women and Child Development minister Maneka Gandhi.
