Spanish term or phrase: alcanzan niveles formativos más altos
Buenas noches,

El texto a continuación trata sobre las inequidades de género entre hombres y mujeres:

Brecha de género.
En estas comunidades la brecha de género no se expresa en la educación, las mujeres tienen mayor acceso a la educación y **alcanzan niveles formativos más altos** que los hombres. La brecha de género está presente y es grande en el campo laboral.

My try:

"... and they achieve higher academic/schooling levels than men"

Como de costumbre, gracias de antemano por sus aportes.

reach a higher level of quality study in preparation for professional life


Explanation:
In my opinion the key word for translating the sentence given is "quality" understood as a means to get better jobs on the work ladder.

neutral  neilmac: I don't see the word "quality" in there, and it's currently dead to me anyway, having had all the meaning sucked out of it through overuse.
