After decades of attention to gender matters in the EU, there
are important achievements. Across European schools and
universities there is much greater awareness of gender
equality as an educational issue than there was in the past.
Women have greatly increased their levels of attainment in
education, surpassing men in their rates of attainment in
public examinations in many countries. In addition, women's
participation and achievements in traditionally male-defined
subjects have been significantly enhanced.
However, gender inequalities still remain in European education systems in terms of
subject preferences and performance, and in qualitative aspects of the education and
training experience.
This independent expert report is a review of international research evidence on the
relationship between gender and education. It focuses especially on the Lisbon
objectives and EU benchmarks. It provides a critical, empirically and theoreticallyinformed
analysis of how gendered identities relate to educational processes and
outcomes. It summarizes existing research and outlines the policy lessons and
measures that are shown to contribute to greater equality between women and men,
boys and girls in education.
