Diversity Matters: Introduction

Gender Equity

Throughout the 1990’s much research has focused on gender bias directed against girls. However, recent studies show that boys and girls are both victims of gender bias. Current understanding of physiologic psychiatry believes that the male and female brains process information in different ways.

What is important to stress is that school must provide equal access to all students and insure that curriculum and career choices are both technically and socially acceptable to boys and girls.
