| dc.description.abstract | For the past decades, focus on attaining gender equality in science education has attracted
a lot of attention. Governments and international community believe that girls’/women’s
science education is a worthwhile investment; it has many direct effects on economic
growth and human welfare. In this chapter, we discuss this view as a tool for development
