A Feminist Manifesto for Education by Miriam David is a groundbreaking exploration of gender inequality in the educational sector. Despite claims of progress, this compelling manifesto reveals how educational policies often overlook crucial gender issues, including sexual abuse, harassment, and violence. With a keen critique of neoliberalism’s impact on educational opportunities, David emphasizes the persistent need for equitable schooling for all, regardless of gender or sexuality. She addresses the shifts in women's and girls' educational participation worldwide and advocates for feminist strategies to influence policy and legal interventions aimed at human rights protection. This book also delves into the relationship between feminism and education, spotlighting case studies of international programs combating gender-based violence. In her thought-provoking analysis, David challenges the notion of 'gender equality achieved' and presses for a radical rethinking of patriarchal structures in education. By advocating for comprehensive personal, social, health, and sexuality education, she underscores the need for inclusivity in curricula. Perfect for educators, policymakers, and advocates for gender equality, this book invites readers to reconsider the prevailing norms and work towards a just educational landscape.

Description:
The idea that gender equality in education has been achieved is now a staple of public debate. As a result, educational policies and practices often do not deal explicitly with gender issues, such as sexual abuse, harassment or violence. Exaggeration of neoliberalism™s successes in creating individual opportunity in education conceals ongoing problems and ignores the continuing need for a fair and equal education for all, regardless of gender or sexuality. In this manifesto for education, Miriam David rejects the notion that gender equality has been achieved in our age of neoliberalism. She puts the focus back onto issues such as changing patterns of women™s and girls™ participation in education across the globe, feminist strategies for policy and legal interventions around human rights, and violence against women and children. She discusses waves of feminism linked to school-teaching and pedagogies in higher education as well as an illuminating case study of an international educational programme to challenge gender-related violence. Revealing neoliberal education to be ˜misogyny masquerading as metrics™, Miriam David argues for changes in the patriarchal rules of the game, including questioning ˜gender norms™ and stereotypical binaries, and for making personal, social, health and sexuality education mainstream.
