Joined up Action Needed: Gender and Schooling in the Time of COVID 19

More than 1.5 billion children worldwide are out of school due to COVID 19 and we don't know for how long. As yet there is no gender disaggregation of these figures. This shock comes at a time when, slowly, the number of children enrolling and completing school was beginning to rise. Over the last five years, governments and the education community have been getting a sense of the range of ways in which gender inequalities outside schooling could be reproduced inside, and the ways that inequalities of race, class, ethnicity, gender or location overlap in many settings. Many of us have been making plans for the intensive work needed to address these intersecting inequalities.
