Funded Activity Summary

Gender matters: changing gender equity policies and practices. This project aims to examine the contemporary policy and practice gap of gender equity in schools. Despite widespread concerns about gender-related issues in schools and society, system-wide policies on gender equity have almost disappeared. The project will investigate young people's experiences of gender-related issues through the accounts of recent school leavers and current secondary school students, through creative arts-based methods, and the perspectives of teachers and school executive in five diverse secondary schools. Expected outcomes include a critical review of past policy approaches to gender equity and a fresh evaluation of gender equity policy directions for schools.
