female education
Educating women formally
Female education is the schooling and instruction of girls and women.
The phrase typically appears in discussions of gender equity, development policy, or historical periods when educating females was controversial or restricted: Female education has been linked to lower birth rates and improved economic outcomes.
The term itself signals that women's access to learning requires special mention—in contexts where education is universal, the qualifier becomes unnecessary.
