ABSTRACT:
The study of the localization of girls’ secondary schools in Jeddah shows that
the school map is both a diagnostic and perspective tool for school policies. It
is also a tool for research, for measuring accessibility and thus for helping decision-
makers in the education sector (Ministry of education, regional education
directorates, etc.) insofar as it makes it possible to visualize the scenarios
of educational facilities. Through the present study, we have developed a map
showing the distribution of the girls’ secondary schools in Jeddah. This map
shows for some households a low accessibility to these schools. That has
enabled us to propose facilities to reassure a certain equality of opportunity
for access to secondary schools.
