Equal opportunities policies

● Boaler(1998)
- The impact of equal opportunities is a key reason for girl's achievement
- Schools have become more meritocratic
- Boys and girls are entitled to the same opportunities
- WISE(Women Into Science and Technology) and GIST(Girls Into Science and
Technology)→ encourage girls to pursue careers in non-traditional fields/areas

● Kelly(1987)
- The introduction of the National Curriculum(1988 Education Reform Act) has
helped reduce gender inequality
- Girls and boys can now study the same subjects(the meritocratic education
system→helps equalise opportunities)



Positive role models

- An increase in the number of females in high, leading senior roles means that
girls aspire to be independent and strong
- Girls know that they have to have a good education to succeed(breaking the
glass ceiling)
- Schools are becoming a female-gender domain
- Educational success=desirable feminine characteristic
- Link to Individualisation→independence is now more respected/important
