UN Compilation >> Kuwait, Review Documentation, 35th Session, February 2020

CEDAW recommended that Kuwait refer to its previous recommendation in relation to reducing school dropout rates among women and girls, including by repealing without delay all provisions that prevent married women and girls from gaining access to high-quality education and from attending regular schools; that it take measures to employ an equal number of women and men as educational and administrative staff in public schools; that it ensure the inclusion of boys in instruction on family life; that it remove the de facto barriers that exclude women and girls from professional training in mechanics, construction and architecture; and that it collect, analyse and disseminate data on girls’ access to and retention in education, including progression rates and courses pursued.
