The Committee acknowledged the progress made in the field of education for women and girls and welcomed the achievement of gender parity in primary and secondary education, and the establishment of institutions for girls and women at the secondary and tertiary level. However, the Committee was concerned at the high level of drop outs among girls, especially in rural areas and the gender gap at the technical/vocational and tertiary education levels.
