12. Women in Education
One of the social groups that has most benefited from the revolutionary education
reforms implemented starting 1947 is Women.
In 1946, when the overall literacy rate for the country was 57.8%, only 43.8% of the
female population was literate as opposed to 70.1% of the male population.
By 2001, however, the percentage of literate women had gone up to 90% of the
female population in comparison with 93% for the male population.
Sri Lanka has been ranked 16th in the world for gender equality in the Global Gender
Gap Index, way ahead of many developed countries.
Globaly, in the university system over 65% of the students population is Female. Even
in Sri Lanka, almost same.
