ELIMINATION OF GENDER DISPARITY IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
To empower women economically and socially through education: increase the number of girls in Ghana attaining a minimum of senior high school education by 10% by 2015 and by 50% by 2024.
This objective is linked to MDG 3 and is aimed at achieving the millennium development goal 3 in Ghana in the short term and in the long term empower women and girls because it is believed that education is life; and in educating a woman you give that woman a life worth living, a dignified life.
Target 3.A: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015
For girls in some regions, education remains elusive Poverty is a major barrier to education, especially among older girls In every developing region except the CIS, men outnumber women
in paid employment
Women are largely relegated to more vulnerable forms of employment
Women are over-represented in informal employment, with its lack of benefits and security
Top-level jobs still go to men — to an overwhelming degree Women are slowly rising to political power, but mainly when
boosted by quotas and other special measures
