Provides a close examination of the relationship between gender and education in the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) and reveals that women's participation and achievement in education is rapidly outpacing that of men's. Ridge refers to this situation as a "reverse gender divide" and examines the roots and causes of this imbalance, as well as implications for the future.
