E-Learning Trends Not All They Seem - 2020 Sep 18
Research conducted at Charles Sturt University challenges assumptions about the type of students attracted to online learning. In a survey last year of the university's 18,000 students, Les Burr, who is completing a master's thesis, found a disproportionate percentage of groups assumed not to be attracted to, or unable to access, online learning were active participants. Burr found more women, those from the country and older students go online than men, city dwellers and the young, respectively.

Teen Girls Flooding Kenya's New No-Cost Schools - 2020 Sep 12
Kenya's recent introduction of free primary education helps girls forced out of school by poverty to regain lost ground. The girls, however, still face many challenges, from the humiliation of worn-out uniforms to views favouring boys' education.

Strategies for Girls' Education

As they grow, they are unable to participate fully in the political, social and economic development of their communities. They and their children are at greater risk of HIV/AIDS, sexual exploitation, violence and abuse. This publication, reprinted from The State of the World's Children 2020, describes key strategies that can be used to ensure that more girls attend and complete school, while providing examples of successes in several countries.
