This is an Open access Publication. This edited volume brings together established and emerging scholars to explore policies, statistical trends and representative research on gender equity across post‑Soviet Central Asia. The book provides an overview of policy development in the promotion of gender equity, a comparative summary of changes in gender equity indicators at various levels of education, and examples of current research on an array of issues relating to gender equity across the region. The chapters present a broad picture which will be relevant to scholars of educational reform, comparative education policy, international development and gender issues.
