To commemorate the International Women’s Day on March 8, the UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC) and the Network for international policies and cooperation in education and training (NORRAG) will host the webinar entitled Women in higher education: has the female advantage put an end to gender inequalities?

The program will begin with welcoming remarks by Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education; and Moira Faul, NORRAG Executive Director.

On the occasion, UNESCO IESALC will officially launch a comparative report on the female advantage in higher education and the persistence of gender-based inequalities, presented by Daniele Vieira, research coordinator and policy analyst.

Following the presentation, Woohyang Chloe Sim, Researcher, Waseda University Faculty of Education and Integrated Arts and Sciences (Regional expertise: Gulf States); Rekha Pappu, Professor, Azim Premji School of Education at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Regional expertise: South Asia); Ann Therese Ndong-Jatta, Director of the Multi-Sectoral Office in Nairobi for East Africa, and José Antonio Quinteiro, Programs Coordinator at UNESCO IESALC (Latin America and the Caribbean), will hold a dialogue around the findings of the report and the current status of women participation in their regions of expertise based on the following questions:

  • What is the current status of the participation of women in higher education (as students, faculty or managers) in your region and where do gender-based inequalities persist?
  • What policies, either at national or institutional level, seem to work in your region?
  • What prospects do you see for the future in your region, particularly looking at the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda?

After the presentations, the panelists will respond to questions from the audience. The director of the UNESCO IESALC, Francesc Pedró, will bring the meeting to conclusions.

The event will be streamed via Zoom on March 8th at 14:00h CET and will count on simultaneous interpretation to Spanish.
