Bokova, who is also a candidate to head the United Nations next year, is quoted as warning that only 60 percent of countries around the world have achieved gender equality in primary education.
As regards secondary education, however, the share is even lower, at 38%, Bokova has said, adding the figures contribute to a weakening of the fabric of society.
