This paper focuses on the learning that happens in everyday life, beyond the formal learning environments of schools, colleges, and universities or even beyond community and adult education.

Access to pre-primary education has increased significantly in the past two decades and, as of today, boys and girls are participating equally.

In…

Gender stereotypes of musical instruments emerge in early childhood and have…
