This publication is the first in a series of regional thematic studies initiated by the SEA-PLM Secretariat – SEA-PLM 2019 latest evidence in basic education.
This paper delves deeper into the SEA-PLM 2019 database to examine learning and context disparities between boys and girls, and their differential effects in the 6 Southeast Asian participating countries.
The main findings can contribute to ongoing discussions and efforts in Southeast Asian countries to address equity gaps in learning between boys and girls, and to improve the responsiveness of education to the learning needs of girls and boys.
