Gender disparities in Kenyan education refers to the differences in outcomes observed between different sexes in the Republic of Kenya. Specifically, gender disparities allude to one sex being disadvantaged over the other in experiences and outcomes. Education disparities can be seen in different enrollment rates, dropout rates, and survival rates among the sexes. Often these phenomena happen together. Gender disparities in education can also include a difference in the quality of education received. In Kenya, gender disparities in education may be created or perpetuated by policy, ethnicity, region, religion, and age. ==Overall performances and transition rates== Enrollment in education has greatly increased in Kenya over the years. During the last two decades of colonial rule, 1943–1963, it is estimated that girls took up just 25% of all children enrolled in the workforce. In 1953, only one woman, or 6% of all students, achieved post-secondary education. Since then, according to a UNICEF study, enrollment has increased and the gender gap has reduced in size. UNICEF estimates as of 2012, 83.2% of youth (ages 15–24), are literate.〔|accessdate=20 March 2014}}〕 In 1973, the girls made up only 43% of total primary school enrollment. In the educationally advanced districts, this proportion was close to 50%, while in the districts in the pastoral areas and coast province it was below 32%. UNICEF states females actually show slightly higher enrollment than males in primary school, 84.5% enrollment compared to 83.5% for boys. In addition, overall survival rate to the last year of primary school is a high 96.1%.〔 However the relationship between male and female enrollment switches and widens in secondary education. In secondary school, 51.6% of enrolled students are male and 48.4% are female. UNICEF reports that the greatest gender disparity exists among the poorest quintile group of Kenya, with attendance rates being 33.1% and 25% for males and females respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.childinfo.org/files/ESAR_Kenya.pdf )〕 What is very clear is that there is a distinct difference in rates of enrollment for females in certain districts, with the highest district, Kinnyaga enrolling 51.8% of its girls in school and the lowest district, Wajir, only enrolling 13.9% of its girls.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gender disparities in Kenyan education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
