The study aimed to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Provide a concise and focused analysis of the status and indicators of the primary school system from a gender perspective<\/li>\n
  • Identify and analyze the key underlying causes of the gender gap in primary schools, particularly in terms of admission, enrollment, and dropout.<\/li>\n
  • Propose practical recommendations to support educational policymakers and relevant stakeholders in addressing or mitigating this issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The study yielded a number of key findings summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A clear gender gap was identified in admission, enrollment, and dropout indicators in primary schools.<\/li>\n
    • In the 2021\/2022 academic year, the overall admission gap reached 0.90, while the enrollment gap reached 0.89; dropout rates stood at 10.2% among males and 11% among females.<\/li>\n
    • Four interrelated main causes of the gender gap were identified: educational and institutional factors, social and cultural factors, and economic and demographic factors.<\/li>\n
    • Ongoing conflict was found to have exacerbated these causes, while the economic blockade intensified their impact, leading to a 4% decline in enrollment over ten years, along with an increase in the population of the 6\u201314 age group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In light of these findings, the researcher recommended:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Reforming and supporting the education sector, particularly primary school education, and developing a clear, precise, and gender-responsive legal framework.<\/li>\n
      • Legally affirming free and compulsory education, and adopting a sustainable, inclusive educational plan that effectively responds to gender needs.<\/li>\n
      • Increasing the education budget and granting the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research broader authorities.<\/li>\n
      • Reducing reliance on international financial aid due to its limited effectiveness, improving educational governance and management, establishing an updated and well-defined education database, and working to increase demand for education.<\/li>\n
      • Mitigating the impacts of poverty, enhancing household economic viability, eliminating child labor, and accelerating the rehabilitation and reform of water and sanitation services, among other measures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The defense session was attended by faculty members of the Center, researchers, students, colleagues, and the researcher\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
