Gender equity and social inclusion guidelines for the scaling of accelerated learning programs

Gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) in education plays a vital role in the well-being of society. The three documented positive impacts of GESI in education that have been shown through research are:

1. improved human rights and societal well-being,
2. accelerated economic development and
3. improved livelihoods and decreased state dependence.

This guideline outlines evidence on how GESI can positively affect these three areas. This guideline is targeted at school leaders and identifies interventions based on current research that are within the control of school leaders. It is designed to give school leaders examples of good practices based on research evidence.
