Re-positioning Females in the International Educational Context: Theoretical Frameworks, Shared Policies, and Future Directions

Abstract

WID emerged in reaction to the failure of the modernization development policy based on the notion that every individual has equal access to opportunities for achieving goals and objectives deemed reasonable by society. It sought to provide a more comprehensive framework within which the goals of better living conditions, wages, and education could be achieved by all individuals.¹ Specifically, given the fact that females in emerging countries lag behind males in terms of economic prosperity and education, WID addressed their advancement through development projects and programs.
