ITEM B: At each age from preschool through to university entrance, girls tend to do better
than boys. For example, on entering primary school, girls are more likely to be able to write
their own name. On the other hand, boys are more likely than girls to be assessed by their
schools as having special educational needs. When it comes to the subject choice, at age
16, there are major gender differences in the popularity of different A-Level subjects and
even greater gender differences in vocational courses.

Applying material from Item B and your own knowledge, evaluate the view that gender
differences in both subject choice and educational achievement are mainly the result of the
influence of wider society. (30 marks)


Introduction:
- Educational achievement of both males and females has risen, but the achievement
of females has risen at a faster rate.
- Some subjects may be taught mainly by men and use resources that focus on males
-> despite the introduction of GIST and WISE schemes, science and maths tend to
be preferred by boys.
Paragraph 1:
- Impact of feminism.
- Since the 1960s, feminism has challenged the stereotypes of a woman’s role as a
mother and housewife -> feminists have attempted to show girls that they do not
accept the patriarchy -> raising their ambitions by teaching them that they can
become successful career women.
- As their ambitions are high, they work harder in education, meaning they achieve
more than boys.
- HOWEVER -> could be argued that because radical feminists are widely known for
their extreme views -> girls may be alienated and may have formed stereotypical
views of all feminists being too extreme.
- This automatically discounts anything feminists say due to the label they have
placed that feminism is extreme -> feminism will not have impacted them or
changed their ambitions.
Paragraph 2:
- Changes in the family structure.
- Girls are exposed to a wider range of role models of women who have successful
careers -> may be their own mothers or women in wider society.
- Role models will encourage girls to achieve in education in order to be able to
achieve the same goals.
- Girls may also see their teachers as role models.
