This Fact Sheet uses the Gender Parity Index (GPI) to measure relative access to PSET opportunities of males and females. The GPI is often used internationally to compare relative access to education between males and females across various countries. Such comparisons serve as a barometer for how countries perform in terms of equity and transformation, and speak to the proportional representation of historically and currently disadvantaged groups within all levels of the education system.
