Secondary education, vocational pupils (% female)

This indicator reflects the proportion of female students enrolled in technical and vocational education programs at the secondary level, encompassing a diverse range of subjects, including skills training, healthcare, and technology. A higher percentage of female pupils in these programs signifies a shift towards gender equity in education and highlights the increasing recognition of women's role in various trades and professions. Such enrollment figures can serve as an important metric for policymakers aiming to enhance educational access and outcomes for girls, ultimately contributing to their economic empowerment. By tracking these trends, stakeholders can identify areas where additional support and resources may be needed to foster a more inclusive environment within vocational education pathways. Source:
