closed

The objective of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to analyze and systematize data and information related to gender gaps in education and the promotion of socioemotional skills in the Caribbean in order to deepen our knowledge on how to create an inclusive learning environment and develop 21st century skills. The specific goals of this TC are to: (i) conduct a detailed diagnostic and systematization of the evidence about boys' under-performance in the English-speaking Caribbean and review effective programs to foster positive gender attitudes, building on existing studies and available data; (ii) explore potential causes of boys' underperformance by analyzing the existing curriculum and current teacher practices to identify potential gender biases and skills related to inclusion; and (iii) advance the quality of the education management information system (EMIS) in the Caribbean countries and create awareness about the importance of these systems to monitor gender gaps and other education outcomes.
