| description |
Impressive results still leave Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) with an education gap as
compared to the rest of the world. With some exceptions,
MENA countries have almost reached full primary education
enrollment and increased enrollment in secondary schools
almost threefold since 1970, and fivefold at the higher
education level. The crowning achievement for the MENA
region has been the closing of the education gender gap.
Illiteracy rates have also been halved in the past 20 years
and the absolute difference between male and female adult
literacy rates is declining rapidly. These impressive
quantitative achievements have contributed to improving the
quality of life for citizens through longer life expectancy,
lower fertility and infant mortality rates, and a more
cohesive national identity. |
