Introduction
| Progress Reports | Action Agenda | Executive Summary (AAUW web site)

The NCWGE (National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education) Report Card examines the state of gender equity in education in nine key areas: access to higher education, athletics, career education, employment, learning environment, math and science, sexual harassment, standardized testing, and treatment of pregnant and parenting students.

The progress reports grade the nation's efforts to implement Title IX, based on a variety of indicators, such as women's participation rates, enforcement actions by the federal government, and legal developments. Based on these indicators, the progress reports assess how far the nation has come in realizing Title IX's goal of eliminating sex discrimination in education. The grading scale is as follows:

A – Equitable: Gender and other areas of diversity respected and affirmed.
B – Substantial Progress: Elimination of most gender–based barriers.
C – Some Progress: Some barriers addressed, but more improvement necessary.
D – Little Progress: Significant gender–based barriers remain.
F – Failure: No progress in 25 years.

So, how did the nation fare? As the chart below indicates, the nation has made some progress, but there is much room for improvement. The Action Agenda that accompanies this Report Card provides concrete suggestions about how the nation can make the grade for gender equity in the next 25 years and beyond.
