Gender Inequality in Higher Education: A Sociological Perspective
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper reviews a diverse literature on gender and higher education. Gender inequality is more pronounced in some aspects of the educational systems than in others. The analysis distinguishes access to higher education; college experiences; and post collegiate outcomes. Women fare relatively well in the area of access, less well in terms of the college experience, and are particularly disadvantaged with respect to the outcomes of schooling. Explanations of gender inequality in higher education should distinguish between these different aspects of education and should explain those contexts in which women have attained parity as well as those in which they continue to lag behind men. Education has been important to the development of human society. The issues of class, race and caste have been of great significance to the educational discussions. Major stress has been laid on promoting equality through educating different classes, races & ethnic groups. Slowly & slowly gender added a new dimension to this education equality paradigm. Females criticize the discriminatory attitude towards women, the cause of which women have lagged behind in the field of education
