Inhalt: What does gender equality mean for young men and women in poor communities across different countries? The Millennium Development Goals aim to achieve basic education for all by 2015. But can such global agendas address national and local gender inequalities and will they empower women through education? New research on gender education makes an important contribution to this global debate. Shailaja Fennell and Madeleine Arnot have brought together leading international scholars and a new generation of researchers working within development studies, gender studies and education. The result is a thought-provoking book that offers an opportunity to engage critically with existing and emergent conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches.

Gender equality in education - increasing the momentum for change

Inhalt: All nations are committed, via their espousal of the Millennium Development Goals, to eliminate gender disparities in education over the next few years. This policy brief examines the major causes of existing inequalities in education, based upon an assessment of recent research
results, and sets out lessons for policy change. Although the causes of inequality are complex, policy reforms to improve women's rights in the household and the market place, to reduce the direct costs of schooling to households, and to improve school quality in gender-aware ways can do much to encourage and sustain increased enrolments amongst both girls and boys. Although the 2005 target of achieving gender parity at primary and secondary levels has been missed, that for 2015 can be reached if carefully focussed reforms are employed.
Globalising the school curriculum: gender, EFA and global citizenship education

Inhalt: Whilst the link between access, quality of schooling and gender equality in promotion Education for All is vital, the problematic nature of this agenda for the curriculum in developing countries is not sufficiently recognized. Previous sociological research indicates the contradictions between the social reproductive elements and the egalitarian potential of a 'globalised curriculum' especially in the complex postcolonial scenario of developing economies. A close reading of the EFA Global Monitoring Reports highlights rights within and through the curriculum, representing the 'curriculum as opportunity', 'curriculum as reform' and 'curriculum as a democratic tool'. However, gender equality represents a deeper challenge to dominant knowledge forms than that represented by a gender fair/ friendly curriculum or a gender neutral curriculum. Global citizenship education controversially brings female subordination and gender power into the curriculum but its potential in relation to the goals of EFA is not proven. Localized historical and socio-cultural investigations are needed into the gendering of national school knowledge in non-Western environments, and its relationship to material and socio-cultural conditions of gender relations. Such investigations could account for different types of gender performances in school, and offer a transformative politics of recognition as well as redistribution.

Inhalt: "Der Gender-Fachkongress zielte darauf ab, Frauen und Männer anzusprechen und Geschlechterverhältnisse zum Querschnittsthema der Bildungsarbeit zu machen. Der inhaltliche Rahmen erfasste eine breite Palette von Erfahrungen und Ansätzen (neben der Erwachsenenbildung etwa in den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Polizei, Politik), reichte von der Bundesebene bis ins 'Ländle' und ermöglichte vielfältige theoretische Reflexionen. Die Beiträge zeigen ein weites Spektrum in der Rezeption theoretischer Diskurse in Praxis und Politik bzw. Orientierungen an diesen: Finden sich in einigen Artikeln in Anlehnung an Differenz-Kategorien Feststellungen von Unterschieden zwischen Frauen und Männern, wird in anderen Aufsätzen stärker die soziale Konstruktion von Geschlecht in Verbindung mit Geschlecht als sozialer Strukturkategorie und dem Geschlechterverhältnis als Machtverhältnis zugrundelegt."
