  1. Gender inequality and Education.

  2. Introduction Within this short presentation I shall relate to gender inequality and how this is linked to education and why it is seen as an inequality within education.

  3. Gender inequality Women and men are unequal in every conceivable way in endless circumstances, both immediate and enduring, by both objective criteria and subjective experience.  So, what counts as gender inequality? Stereotypical saying; “Boys are from Mars and Girls are from Venus”

  4. Where do you find gender inequality in primary and secondary education? • Some differences in courses taking patterns by the end of high school, • Some differences in portrayal of men/women in curricular materials, • Micro levels in interactional levels in classrooms.

  5. Barrie Thorne. 1993. • “Boys and girls together …but mostly apart” (in Gender Play: Girls and Boys in School)

  6. Sadker and Sadker 1994 • Boys are called on more than girls, • Boys are given more and different feedback than girls • Boys are allowed more leniency for mild classroom behaviour than girls

  7. Where do we find gender inequality at the university level? • Educational achievement • Educational attachment • Payoffs to education • Gender segregation of college majors

  8. Example;
