Education Scotland
The Improving Gender Balance and Equalities programme is a research-informed programme. The aim of this literature review is to provide an overview of relevant theory and research in this area, with points for professional discussion and ideas for practice. To ensure the original authors’ voices are reflected as accurately as possible, paraphrasing has been kept to a minimum. This review focuses on three areas: 1) evidence of sex differences in education; 2) the influence of gender stereotypes and unconscious bias; 3) implications for practice.
Our Watch
This report, written in Australia, focuses on the potential for parents of young children to challenge restrictive gender stereotypes and roles, a key driver of violence against women.

This resource is designed for use by educators from all phases and stages of schooling. Its purpose is to identify and dispel some of the current and unhelpful myths about gender and education and to counter them with an evidence-based rationale. It could be used in a variety of ways and contexts but it might be most productively used as a vehicle for opening up dialogue about gender issues in education with teachers and other school staff, trainees and pupils.

The Children’s Society
