Analysis of gender parity in lower-secondary using geospatial data: A case study of Cambodia

February 2022

This case study aims to analyse gender parity in access to education at the lower-secondary level using geospatial data and the QGIS software. Thus, this study includes the following: (i) an overview of the Cambodian education system in the context of education equity; (ii) an overview of the demand and supply of education as a public good; (iii) an analysis of gender parity gaps at the district level, namely the thirdlowest administrative tiers of the education administration system, by creating maps using geospatial data to visualise and interpret information; and (iv) the provision of policy recommendations to address gender gaps. This analysis is important to understand equity in terms of access to education among female and male students and provide policy recommendations to address gender disparities and achieve more equitable access to education in Cambodia.
