| Summary: | "[This book] is one of the Ministry of Education's contributions to the centenary year of women's suffrage in New Zealand ... The report places the current particpation of girls and women in education and training in the context of previous levels of participatoin, so that improvements which are required can be viewed against progress which has been made ... the report indicates that girls and women are still not achieving their full potential. Women are now more likely to remain at school to senior levels than has been the case in the past ... Women tend to leave school more qualified than their male colleagues and are more likely to enrol at university. However women still participate less in graduate education than men. One enduring difference between men and women is the subjects they choose for study ... The report provides a baseline from which to measure initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for girls and women ..." -- Foreword. |
