Abstract : At their Tenth Conference in Nairobi, Commonwealth Education Ministers expressed concern at the continuing under-representation of girls in diversified vocational and technical education programmes, in spite of non-discriminatory policies of entry for them. They urged that countries that had not already done so should commit themselves to a policy of affirmative action by enhancing existing programmes for women and girls so as to encourage their fuller participation in a wide range of vocationally-oriented courses, and requested the Commonwealth Secretariat to continue also to encourage equal opportunities for access to science and technology education.
