Preferred term

gender differences in education  

Definition(s)

  • Since the publication of the 1992 American Association of University Women (AAUW) landmark report, How Schools Shortchange Girls, researchers, educators, and policymakers have paid more attention to the effects of gender on education in the United States. The AAUW produced a follow-up report in 1998, Gender Gaps: Where Schools Still Fail Our Children, which revisited issues addressed in the 1992 study and highlighted new challenges to gender and equity in K-12 education.
