- Description
- 'Authors seeks to address some of the issues with regard to gender equality, equity and poverty in education in post-conflict countries. The chapters in this book are a product of a five year collaborative North-South-South .project between Norway, South Africa and Sudan. Accordingly, the book is an attempt to understand the key issues related to gender and education as part of the larger research project entitled Gender Equality, Education and Poverty (GEEP), funded by the Norwegian Programme for Development, Research and Education (NUFU). The project encompasses critical questions surrounding gender equality,equity, and education within a context of poverty in post-conflict South Africa and Sudan. The understanding is that the social production of gender is .inseparable from that of race, sexuality, class, nationality, ability and other categories of difference. The project places feminist concerns within a transnational context, while respecting the need for geographic and historical .specificity. While it is important to understand that these two countries represent each end of the spectrum in terms of development on the African continent, the GEEP project also believes that gender equality in education is a challenging issue in both countries and as such our focus is on both the similarities and differences in these two contexts.'
