Abstract: This paper emphasizes the status of women through the assessment of inequality in educational attainment in Arab countries and comparisons with Eastern and Central European Economies (ECE). The results show a recent relative high trend in education attainment with lowered gender and female inequalities. But these inequalities appear to be higher for females in Arab countries. Even with decreasing inequalities, lower equality is observed for females that show a decreasing pattern of inequality in education. But, the levels of inequality, vary between Arab countries and in comparison to ECE economies Classification-JEL I320, J620 Keywords Women, Inequality, Educational attainment.
