Abstract
This article argues that the family, culture, churches, and mass media aid the educational system in reproducing and promoting gender inequality, and that the educational system reinforces such attitudes among these institutions and through school textbooks. It draws attention to the gender-based approach used in the Common Entrance placement of children in secondary schools, and to the gender bias within the staffing of the Ministry of Education
