AAUW releases a new report - Where the Girls Are: The Facts About Gender Equity in Education

Today, May 20, 2008, AAUW released the most comprehensive analysis to date on trends by gender, race, ethnicity, and income in education. The report, Where The Girls Are: The Facts About Gender Equity In Education, presents a comprehensive look at girls’ educational achievement during the past 35 years, paying special attention to the relationship between girls’ and boys’ progress. Analyses of results from national standardized tests, such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the SAT and ACT college entrance examinations, as well as other measures of educational achievement, provide an overall picture of trends in gender equity from elementary school to college and beyond.
