While co-education represents enormous progress compared to a previous situation of gender segregation which led to greater inequalities than today, its introduction was not enough to give the same opportunities to girls and boys.\u00a0Many\u00a0works<\/a>\u00a0have shown that it is not enough to decree gender diversity (even if it is necessary) for the gendered division of knowledge, skills and orientation to disappear.<\/p>\n Shaking up social gender relations, diversity must lead to the construction of a new balance of power between groups by giving room for cooperation between girls and boys.\u00a0In this way, a break with the asymmetry of statutes could be established.\u00a0However, today we see that co-education reinforces the social concept of male domination.<\/p>\n The girls must be discreet, speak only wisely, ask to speak without trying to shine at the expense of others;\u00a0while the boys put themselves forward, speak up spontaneously, seek to attract attention and \u201cassert themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n This sends girls back to a constraint of femininity that implies a position of inferiority, just as boys are sent back to a constraint of virility and a position of superiority and dominance, not always compatible with a positive relationship at school. , hence school failures.\u00a0We find in the published works, two stereotyped portraits of boys and girls largely influenced by the socialization of the family and by school.<\/p>\n “There is therefore an\u00a0illusion to believe<\/a>\u00a0that women will be able to change their social and professional condition by a simple change in school orientation”, notes Nicole Mosconi, professor of education sciences.\u00a0It is the whole of the social relations between the sexes that should be transformed, both in the professional field (with a real mix of jobs) and in the family field.\u00a0One could say that co-education also socializes the two sexes to an equal learning of their unequal social positions and through the transmission of knowledge, a differentiated socialization takes place.<\/p>\n In its latest 2022 report on the perceptions and experiences of equality among the younger generations, the\u00a0High Council for Equality between Women and Men<\/a>\u00a0highlights a more acute awareness of stereotypes, persistent inequalities and confirms the fact that the he school reinforces gendered behavior the most by promoting the internalization of norms, particularly through textbooks and teaching aids which fail to provide a realistic representation: only 9.8% of the texts presented were written by women.<\/p>\n The adoption of a national career guidance plan is necessary to guide young girls towards technical, digital and future jobs.\u00a0Faced with these inequalities, the result is that this generation lacks education in relational life and feels helpless in the face of various sexist and sexual violence.\u00a0How to do ?<\/p>\n More numerous than men in higher education, women are less likely to choose the sciences.
