On the basis of this preliminary analysis, the extent of a project s GAD potential can be evaluated. For example in industrializing DMCs, or in modern urban areas within DMCs, women may benefit most from projects that include strategies to increase female enrollment at the senior secondary and higher educational levels, particularly in technical and nontraditional career areas for women. In DMCs or in areas within them that have a predominantly rural population, projects that focus on the primary education of girls, nonformal education in rural and small community settings, literacy classes, and distance education may be the most beneficial to women. Textbooks and curriculum improvement Projects focused on textbooks and curriculum improvement should aim to remove gender stereotypes in the content and images of textbooks. Training of female teachers GAD issues in the education sector focus on girls and women not only as students but also as members of the educational profession.
Teachers are important role models to boys and girls and to their communities.
Significant numbers of women in the teaching profession, particularly at the higher levels and in decision-making positions, can raise the aspirations of girls and young women and positively influence social attitudes toward women. Social attitudes To promote female access to education, an analysis of social attitudes toward education and the values attached to the education of males and females is important. The long-term objective of the project is to bring more women into the mainstream of socioeconomic development by progressively improving their educational level. In the short term, the overall project objective is to expand access to improved primary education for girls. The project approach is flexible, which means that project impact and effects are continually assessed during implementation, and lessons learned are applied to subsequent activities.
