A socio-legal study on Gender inequality in Elementary education in Gujarat

As per the scope of the paper on “The Socio-Legal Study of the Gender Inequality in Elementary Education in Gujarat” is a critical subject where the status differs from state to state, but overall position is not in a good shape. Being a wide and a critical topic the research related to the topic will be limited to the Gujarat only. Different International Conventions, Treaties and other relevant reports is taken into consideration but the focus is on Gujarat and how the Government of Gujarat deals with problem. Women in today’s world are not having proper means for education. From ages the conception was that the women are bound to work between four walls of a house. Apart from theses historical backlog, the mind set of people was not matured and thus even today women are facing many difficulties for even completing her higher
education. Thus the researcher in the paper has tried to focus on the problem; whether the gender inequality still prevails in India specifically in Gujarat, where so many measures and international conventions are taken into consideration. Looking to Gujarat, there is a notable exception in Gujarat where little progress has been made in reducing gender disparity despite the
state's impressive economic growth. Analysis of data collected by the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER Centre) over the last five years indicates that the issues of gender disparity and female retention in basic education have not improved. In light of the recent passage of the Right to Education Act, it is imperative to better understand why and how, despite progress in
many states, some continue to lag in terms of providing basic education and, more specifically, in reducing the gender gap in enrolment levels.
