Abstract
This article analyzes the role of
educational policies as a success factor for girls'
education and focuses in two countries, Mauritania and
Guinea, that have successfully addressed this issue. It also
briefly mentions the current situation in Burkina Faso and
Mali. The key objective of this research effort was to
understand and explain the practices that help girl students
to succeed in school, and the underlying circumstances. The
research revealed that the problems and successes of
girls' schooling are part of a whole dynamic, in which
socio-cultural, school and institutional factors overlap and interact.
