This publication draws together ground-breaking research, which aims to challenge the damaging consequences of well over a decade of neglect of equalities issues.
Gender in education 3-19: A fresh approach looks at the gender stereotyping that still goes on in education, both within the curriculum and through teaching practices. It includes discussions on how subject choice is still determined by gender, and how this has a strong effect on the gender balance of the working population.
The research, edited by Hilary Claire of London Metropolitan University, and featuring contributions from nine renowned and respected authors, highlights the high number of black girls being excluded from school and looks at the way language is used in education. There is a strong call for greater integration for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered pupils in education, in relation to bullying and inclusion in school life and in wider education. The research demonstrates that although progress has been made in gender equality in the classroom, the overriding conclusion is that there is still a long way to go.
