Education for women’s empowerment or schooling for women’s subordination?
Overview
This article is concerned with identifying the main elements in a programme of education for women’s empowerment, by contrasting such education with its opposite: schooling for subordination. It is here argued that education and training for women’s empowerment needs to reverse the values and beliefs which have been inculcated within the conventional school system.
