内容説明

Whatever Happened to Equal Opportunities in Schools? is an edited book which makes an important contribution to the current debate about equal opportunities. Today the dominant concern is about boys' achievement but it was not alway thus! Contributors trace events relating to schools since the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act and the establishment of the Equal Opportunities Commission in the mid seventies. Prior to the advent of the National Curriculum it was common practice for boys and girls to take different subjects and be offered very different opportunities and experience through the overt and covert school curriculum. Initiatives emerging from central government, quangos, trade unions, local education authorities, and individual schools are described. The book discusses how much has really changed, the extent to which credit should be given to earlier initiatives concerned with the raising of girls aspirations and achievement, what can we learn from these initiatives and what we should really be concerned about now. The book also addresses the question of boys achievement both past and present and will be important reading for all educators with an interest in promoting gender equality in schools.

内容説明

There is considerable interest in the issue of equal opportunities, most of it directed at the underachievement of boys. In this book, Kate Myers and her team of contributors describe their involvement in national, local and school level equal opportunities projects that followed the Sex Discrimination Act and the establishment of the Equal Opportunities Commission in the mid-1970s. The main concern at that time was the under representation of girls in specific areas of the curriculum and work place. There was no national curriculum and it was common practice for girls and boys to take different subjects and be offered very different opportunities and experiences through the overt and covert school curriculum. In describing the various initiatives, the contributors to the book reflect upon their impact and discuss what can be learned from them in the context of concern over boys' underachievement.
