Schools are being accused of reinforcing gender stereotyping….
It is estimated that more than half of mixed state schools are being accused of reinforcing gender stereotyping by ‘turning students off’ certain subjects according to their gender.
This seems further supported by student A Level choices with English, Biology and Psychology appealing to female students and Economics, Maths and Physics having a greater appeal to male students.
B2P asks what personal experiences have you and your families had?
Is this reflective of society in general – pink for girls and blue for boys?
Should we be doing more to counter these stereotypes?
How could this reinforcement help or hinder our future employees in their job applications or career choices?
