General field: Social Sciences | Source text - English
Three of every five students in public higher education in the United Arab Emirates are women. The vast majority (80 percent) of these young women are first-generation college students. Their fathers are more likely to have higher educational levels than their mothers, because men had access to education and diverse employment opportunities well before their female counterparts. The first school for men was established in the early 1950s, while women's schools opened their doors almost a decade later. Despite their late start, women have made monumental strides at all levels of the education system because of two factors. The first is the presence of strong support for education from the rulers of the Emirates. And the second and perhaps more potent reason is the availability of gender-segregated and cost-free primary, secondary, and tertiary education, which allows women of different socioeconomic and family circumstances to gain access to higher education. | Translation - Spanish
En los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, tres de cada cinco estudiantes de las instituciones públicas de educación superior son mujeres. La gran mayoría de estas jóvenes (el 80 por ciento) representan la primera generación de estudiantes universitarias mujeres. Seguramente sus padres tienen un nivel de educación superior al de sus madres, ya que los hombres tuvieron acceso a la educación, así como a una diversidad de oportunidades laborales mucho antes que las mujeres. La primera escuela para hombres fue fundada a principios de la década de 1950, mientras que las escuelas para mujeres fueron inauguradas casi una década más tarde. Sin embargo, las mujeres han hecho grandes progresos en todos los niveles del sistema educativo gracias a dos factores. El primero de ellos es el fuerte apoyo a la educación por parte de la clase gobernante de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. El segundo, y tal vez el más importante, es la disponibilidad de oportunidades de educación primaria, secundaria y terciaria, gratuita y separada por sexo, que permite a mujeres provenientes de diferentes niveles socioeconómicos y diversas situaciones familiares, acceder a una educación superior. |
