The first indicator is Gender Parity Index (GPI) for primary, secondary and tertiary education. At primary level the index in 1990-91 was 0.73 which has increased to 0.85 by 2004-05 and the MTDF has a target of 0.94 so that the GPI at primary level is achieved by 2015. However, it seems less likely to achieve the target unless more efforts are made. At secondary level index in 2004-05 is 0.83 but the MTDF target is 0.90 and the target for 2015 is 0.94 and that seems more likely to be achieved. The second indicator is the GPI of one in literacy rate by 2015; in 2004-05 index was just 0.67, and MTDF target of 0.85 and therefore GPI of 1 by 2015 seems quite unrealistic. Third, the share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector which at present is around 10 percent and the MTDF target is 12 percent has been targeted to rise to 14 percent by 2015. It may be possible if the average targeted growth rate of GDP of 7.6 percent for the MTDF period is achieved. The fourth indicator is the proportion of seats held by women in national parliament and there has been significant improvement; from just 0.9 percent in the National Assembly and 1.0 percent in Senate, the female seats have gone up to 21 percent in National Assembly and 17 percent in Senate.
Target 4: Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2005 and to all levels of education no later than 2015
