Abstract | Gender inequality is a universal phenomenon in contemporary society. It is evident in all cultures and forms – social, economic, cultural, and political. The accepted view is that expanding educational access to women will produce an equalizing effect in an unequal gendered society. However, contrary to the established belief, education reproduces many forms of inequality in society, and gender inequality is one. The phenomena of gender inequalities in educational achievement and the gendered character of the educational system have been some of the significant concerns of feminist struggles. The feminists have exposed the hidden agendas of various academic dogmas, policies, and practices. They not only focus on the unequal achievements of girls but also on areas of potential changes in the educational system, which teaches women ‘to lose’ through gendered curriculum and other such practices. The present paper attempts to explore some of the feminist underpinnings of gender inequalities reproduced through the educational system in society. This paper traces some major feminist perspectives about gender inequality in education and examines the feminist pedagogical propositions and their potential for transforming the prevalent deviances in the education system. |
