The e-discussion on Equitable Access to Education has begun and will run until 24 December. It is important to post information on the benefits of secondary education for girls and its links to better maternal and sexual and reproductive health.
While gender parity for primary school enrolment has greatly improved, more needs to be done at the secondary school level. This is a key area where links can be made to sexual and reproductive health and rights. Access to all subjects on the curriculum, or that should be on the curriculum, including comprehensive sexuality education, can also be highlighted.
