Educate Girls: Improving the Quality and Outcomes of Girls’ Learning Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: World Bank In India, women and girls, especially in rural areas, are particularly affected by the country’s illiteracy problem, since they face discrimination based on their sex and need for childbearing. In Rajasthan, the north- western Indian state that borders Pakistan, 9 out of 26 districts have the worst gender gap in India for girls’ education.Established in 2007, Educate Girls is holistically tackling issues at the root cause of gender inequality in India’s education system that has helped to ensure over 90% enrollment and significantly higher attendance for all girls as well as improved school infrastructure, quality of education and learning outcomes for all children.As a result of Educate Girls’ efforts to date, an army of “girls champions” has been created to combat cultural issues and support systemic change. More than 150,000 out-of-school girls have been enrolled in school and the program has benefitted around 3.8 million of beneficiaries. Continuing to address the social and cultural barriers in girls’ education can bring about real transformation, such as improvement in health, income levels, and overall livelihoods in rural populations. 
Secondary Education and Skills Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Generation Unlimited | Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth All young people need access to quality education and learning that would help them develop the skills, knowledge, attitudes and values they need to find and retain productive work, to make informed decisions, and to positively engage in their communities. However, millions of young people remain out of school or do not have access to quality learning opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic downturn have made the challenges facing young people even more pressing, as shrinking labour markets leave low-skilled young people with fewer choices, and render them more vulnerable to exploitation.There is a need for a radical re-think of what works, seeking a radical improvement in traditional curricula, the number of trained professional teachers, student–teacher ratios, and the teaching methods and strict school timetables that have become less relevant to the current needs of young people.The aim of this guide is to support the Generation Unlimited strategic priorities, and to inform policy makers and social partners, so as to guide action on investment, policy change and delivery, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes and decent jobs for young people.
