Examines key concepts in gender and education. This book contains topics that include: social class, ethnicity and sexuality in relation to experiences in school; theories and methodologies for understanding gender; pedagogy and practice in education; and the direction of educational policy and the 'problem of boys'.

Has the predominance of women teachers in primary schools led to classroom management and teaching styles which 'favour' girls? This book enables an understanding of the background literature on boys and schooling, an insight into 'masculinity-making' in primary schools, and offers strategies for developing gender-relevant programmes.
