Looking at Us...Looking at Them

Abstract

Reviews some of the evidence suggesting that sex discrimination is present in many schools, particularly in relation to science education. Suggests ways in which schools can address the issue of equal opportunities for all. Describes an awareness‐raising exercise on equal opportunities suitable for use with all school staff, parents and older pupils. The exercise introduces ways in which participants can begin to understand that inequality is constantly present in people′s lives. It also describes a project for examining the different pictorial portrayal of men and women in the national press.
