When it comes to women making gains in MBA programs, the long-term trends are encouraging, even as progress can seem painfully slow. According to a report from the Forté Foundation, the number of entering female students this fall at 61 MBA programs in the US and abroad reached a new high of 6,166. Since 2020, enrollment of female students has increased 13%, outpacing the 3% growth rate for men and women combined.

Witness the Educational Evolution of Canadian Women! From 2018 to 2023, there's been a remarkable shift in educational attainment levels. While the percentage of women with education level of Basic Schooling (Up until middle school) gradually declines, the proportion pursuing Higher Education (University Degree) steadily rises. This data reflects a positive stride towards empowering women through higher education. Let's continue to invest in educational initiatives that propel this upward trend and support women's journey towards academic and professional success! #EmpowermentThroughEducation #EducationalEvolution #WomenInCanada #InvestInEducation

Happy Women’s Day! Investing in women makes a lot of sense. The returns to education for women are 9% versus 7% for men at the secondary level and at the tertiary level: 17% for women and 15% for men. These returns are higher for women than for men in all economies and all regions. https://shorturl.at/jPT05 https://lnkd.in/e5tNRDvf #WomensDay #IWD2024

Since 2000, more than 50 percent of the people employed in Australian universities have been women. In 2022, 57.7% of all staff are women, down 0.7 points from 58.4% in 2021. The proportion of women in academic leadership positions increased to 38.3% in 2022, up by 22.8 points from 15.5% in 2001. Progress has been made but there are still many barriers to overcome to attain parity in seniority and pay. For an overall perspective on progress made since the 2000s, here is my commentary published two years ago in Campus Morning Mail: https://lnkd.in/gvaZQHxq

With the evident positive outcomes of investing in girls' and women's education for the progression of communities, economies, and societies, what essential aspects require attention to secure the prioritization of educational opportunities for them at a global level?
Goal 4: Quality Education. There are many factors preventing women from accessing higher education. We believe removing these barriers helps women become the best versions of themselves. For every woman, higher education. #ShadesofUs #GlobalGoals #QualityEducation #SDG4
Finding the "broken rung." Women now lead 25% of the world's top 200 universities, a new report by Times Higher Education finds. Great insights from President Neeli Bendapudi of Penn State University who talked with CBS News about what might be done to build on this. "Even after you get your doctorate and enter academe, it's important for women to keep climbing that ladder successively. So going from assistant to associate to full professor-- those are the ranks inside higher education. So I often think for us to get more women presidents, we need to make sure that women have successively more opportunities for leadership. "And so looking for that broken rung-- where is it that we're losing a lot of women [who are] not getting to that next level-- will be critical."
