Since 2000, there has been real progress has been made in advancing girls’ and women’s access to education at all levels. 132 million girls remain out of school and 15 million girls, compared to 10 million boys, will never set foot in a classroom. Millions more drop out before completing the full cycle of education, and progress for the most marginalized is far too slow. Educated girls are more likely to be healthier, better paid in the workplace, and more empowered to participate in social, economic, civic and political affairs. This transformative effect contributes to a better world for us all. The International Jury for the UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education is appointed by the Director-General of UNESCO on the basis of their reputation in the advancement of education for girls and women, and with consideration for equitable geographical distribution and gender balance.

Nominated projects must be established and running for at least two years, show potential to be replicable and scalable and/or provide significant learning potential for initiatives in other contexts, the project should contribute to one or more of the priority areas of the Prize (Participation, Environment, Literacy, Teachers or Skills). The projects will be assessed based on the project/programme’s impact, how innovate the project/programme’s approach is, and how sustainable it is in the long-term.
