| dc.description.abstract | The lack of explicit policy statements in Jamaica governing the education of boys and girls would suggest that they are afforded equal opportunities in the offerings provided. However, factors exist in the stated or hidden agenda of this system that affect male and female students differently, and thus have some repercussions for the participation of the sexes in the work force. This paper discusses two features in the system that reveal gender differences and discrimination: 1) access to high school education, and 2) gender/subject choice orientation | |
