Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 47
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Privatization in education also exacerbates discrimination against girls in gaining access to education. It is well known that families prioritize the education of boys over girls and that girls are less likely to be enrolled in private education owing to parents' perceived return on the costs of educating girls compared to that of boys.
