Question

Gender still remains a challenge for equal access to educational opportunities.

✓

Answer

This statement is False.

Education as a system also perpetrates gender differences
Although the ‘gender gap’ in education has narrowed, it still remains as a challenge : for equal access to educational opportunities.
Gender difference is evident enough when we consider issues like, preference for a boy’s schooling over a girl’s or high school drop out rate among girls, or soft subject choices for girls.
