| Abstract: |
Summarizing the incomplete results of the UNESCO Programme on "Good Practice in Promoting Gender Equality in Higher Education", the author asks that any assessment of the progress made in the area of gender-sensitive education take regional specificities into account. The regional environment is at best neutral and usually hostile to feminism in subtle ways. In spite of the lack of tradition and experience in gender-sensitive social institutions, valuable things have been happening in the region. Placed within their socio-economic and political contexts (and not necessarily judged according to western standards) individuals, programmes, and institutions are pioneering in the field. Access to the benefits of an education incorporating a coherent gender dimension is, for the time being, limited. Some reasons for this situation are outlined in this article.
