dc.description.abstractThis paper sought to review existing research findings with respect to gender differentials in educational achievement in Jamaica and other countries of the English speaking Caribbean. The first section of the paper discusses some of the consequences that flow from the dichotomy inherent in two opposing world-views with respect to gender differentials in education. The first takes the privileges that males have enjoyed within patriarchal societies as a natural right, while the second is firmly rooted in the goal of achieving gender equality. The paper then looks at some of the data from the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) and the University of the West Indies (UWI) on gender differentials in academic performance. The following sections discuss the expectations offered by current research for the gender differentials identified and the implications of this research with respect to intervention strategies.en_US
