Gender Equity: A Framework for Australian Schools
This report was endorsed by a meeting of the Ministerial Council for Education, Employment and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) at their 5th meeting in Brisbane, 1996. The framework was prepared by a MCEETYA taskforce responsible for providing advice to enable improved educational outcomes for girls and boys in Australian schools. The framework was designed for use by schools and systems, education practitioners, parents and school communities. It built on the work undertaken through the National Policy for the Education of Girls in Australian Schools and the National Action Plan for the Education of Girls 1993-97.
Educating boys is an Australian Government information booklet that looks at the educational issues of boys at school and introduces the steps that the government is taking to address these issues.
Boys in schools program at the Family Action Centre, University of Newcastle has a link to information about the Boys in School quarterly professional bulletin, which has a practical focus on improving boys' schooling.
Manhood online contains items such as the issue of rebuilding trust, the need for literacy programs that discriminate in favour of boys, topics such as 'The good things dad did'; the 'Manhood Forum'; and links to support groups and other services for men and boys.
The Office for Women contributes to national policies and strategies that promote gender equality for women and enhance women's status.
Women in vocational education and training: One of the nationally agreed objectives of the vocational education and training (VET) system is to achieve equitable outcomes for disadvantaged groups including women.
'Gender equity: a case for moving beyond his 'n hers' is the title of an article by Judith Gill and Karen Starr of the University of South Australia that provides a brief overview of the recent history of gender equity in Australian schooling and suggests new ways of thinking about gender justice.
In 2005, the Clare Burton Memorial Lecture, 'Girls, schooling and Society 30 Years On' was presented in every state and in the ACT by Professor Alison MacKinnon, founder of the Hawke Research Institute at the University of South Australia.
