Geno’s equality and its influence on education
Gender is one of the key factors to identify social inequalities in education. Society expects different behaviors between men and women since a gender system that understands masculinity and femininity with different expectations has been transmitted.
Both for mesenger chanzá, D. As for Villar Aguilés, there is a notable distinction between sex and gender;The first establishes a biological basis by differentiating between men and women, while with the second we refer to the difference of social origin;that is, to the social expectations about the behavior that is considered appropriate for each sex, as we feel and how we identify (called gender role).
These distinctions were more noticeable in the twentieth century, for example in the Franco era, it was commontraining and maintenance of the national spirit, deal with domestic tasks and of course maintain family harmony. On the other hand, children studied subjects related to engineering and architecture and girls studied subjects related to health sciences.
With the birth and expansion of universities, married peasant women were eliminated most of autonomy rights and their work in the field was devalued since intellectual work was more valued, so the importance of educationIt was increasing progressively, although many women lacked that right.
Over time these differences have been solved and the mixed schools in which the same treatment of boys and girls in all educational fields are dispensed and they are together in the same classroom.
Today the mixed school is defended by the State since the Spanish Constitution of 1978 establishes the right of all citizens to education, education that will have as its object the full development of human personality in respect for the democratic principles ofcoexistence and fundamental rights and freedoms, not being able to be discriminated against by sex. Since coeducation was invented, numerous studies have shown that women have better academic results than men. This can be associated with the fact that women have more assigned tasks above all in the family environment so they usually have a better organization than men. In addition, behaviors between boys and girls are also different. This difference in addition to developing in classrooms also develops in the other physical spaces of the academic institution.
Coeducation is the method of educational intervention that defends the principle of equality of sexes and non -discrimination due to sex and intends to eliminate power relations. Equality of sexes is incorporated by making visible the contribution of both sexes and the differences of each gender are recognized without any discrimination.
At present, we still can’t talk about equal education between both sexes. There are factors that demonstrate it such as that women represent a significant minority in science and technology careers since they are considered male careers. Another factor that breaks equality is the difference in job opportunities between men and women. The educational level of a person is not valued equally in the labor market, they have in conditioning accounts such as sex. Still today companies when hiring are still preferably looking for men. But also when a woman is selected by a company, in addition to assessing the aspects related to the position to be covered, their personal aspects also enter into play (whether or not she is married, if she is of age to have children or already has them …). We also find the salary gap in which men earn more money
That women in the private labor market. The higher the level of the job occupied in the hierarchical scale of the company, the greater this economic difference.
Returning to the subject of behavior, girls are usually more disciplined, more workers and more constant, while boys are usually more daring, more active and more critical. The reality is that currently family equality is still to be developed in a consolidated way. You must end the patriarchal system in our society and support women more in the professional field. Nowadays schooling is mandatory but in postobligational schooling, rates are higher in women than in men, obtaining higher levels of graduation in all areas.
In spite of this, the reality is that in the working world the man has many more facilities to find work than a woman, due to the mentality we have that men must work and support the family while the woman stays inhouse to do domestic tasks and care for children. We must cancel this retrograde culture and advance in the new generations because, who says that cancer cure cannot be discovered by a scientific woman?, Or why can’t a woman get to the moon? They are merits that are always attributed to men but that in current and previously referred data is more likely to get a woman than a man than a man. Little by little these gender distinctions are eliminated in education but we hope that total equality is achieved in this area. Women also have the right to good salaries and good working conditions, in addition to obtaining an education equal to that of men without any inequality.
