3. GENDER BIAS IN EDUCATION
■ To simply put the meaning the different treatment of boys and girls in school, classroom
etc.,. Are referred to as gender bias.
■ They are “STUDENTS” and NOT boys and girls. As a teacher we should quote it in
such a manner that there should not be any gender bias when it comes to education.
■ Students differ in many ways like in attitude, learning ability, social identities etc.,. but
they are all different in their own way.
■ A teacher first should understand this completely.

4. But why these gender bias always a
major problem???
well the answer is simple. It’s all the work of our brain and its functions.

5. Boys are boys Vs Girls are girls???
According to the brain structure, it is true that all boys have some common taste
(Example: racing, technical knowledge etc.) and also all girls have some common taste
( Example: art, dance, literacy knowledge etc.).
Yes boys and girls may think alike but their CREATIVITY is not the same
Having common interests does not mean they can’t do any other field of works, they can
if encouraged.

6. Gender bias in the act of Socialization
Vs
Even standing in line we
separate them into boys
and girls.
This gender bias
comes
unconsciously
OTHER COUNTRIES OUR COUNTRY
In seating arrangements… In giving preferences towards
grouping…
Also when a girl is
been affected by
boys, the blame used
to come upon the girl
and not the boy.
Boys will be boys, it’s
the girls that need to
be careful-this should
be changed.

7. Society effect on gender bias in
education:
 Even if the schools properly
follow non- gender bias
environment the society we
live in is not ready for that.
 We live in a country with
rich and varied beliefs,
where girls are gods but
only when they are inside
their given castle walls.

8. Gender bias in classroom interaction
Do all of us treat every student equally?
Do we give the same priority to all??
Is girls are guided when they say they have a dream??
Even when asking questions do we follow un biased
nature???
The answer is NO.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

9. What really happens inside
classroom???
■ Guidance and skill development encouragement are given highly for boys than
girls.
■ Girls remain silent inside the class even when they have learning difficulties.
Their needs and problems also remains silent.
■ Low attention is given towards girls
This is because of the stereo thinking of us like, girls are meant
to serve and boys meant to skilled…

10. Gender bias in resources and special
services
■ Scholarships and other sort of offer reach boys in greater number in comparison
to that of girls.
■ Practical skills are more concentrated towards boys the most. Also, practical skill
development guidance and opportunities are given more towards boys.
It is said that boys require education the most ,but why not girls???
Is it because they are fit for marriage alone??? Even then girls require
education the most…running a home requires a lot of knowledge.

11. A picture is worth thousand words…
This picture better explains the fact…
what we taught is what we become…
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

12. Solutions for change…
■ Pictures in textbooks should be made non-gender biased.
This is because students become what they observe.
■ Equal expectations and opinions should be given about all
genders.
■ Activities involving without any bender bias.
■ Giving equal importance and by stopping the thoughts
towards specific gender.
■ Treating male child greater and female inferior should be
avoided by the parents.
■ The thought that – she is a girl she’ll learn herself should be
changed. Even a girl can face challenges in learning process.
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.

13. Cont.…
■ The only way is to avoid the traditional thinking among parents, teachers
and the very known society.
■ Teaching our students that all are equal and are dependent upon each
other.
■ Respecting fellow genders just like any others should be taught well.
■ Independency and creativity has no barriers and every students towards a
good will should be encouraged without differentiating their physical
capabilities.

14. If one man can destroy everything,
why can’t one girl change it?

15. Summary
■ Both boys and girls have their unique creativity and abilities.
■ None should be treated dominant to the other.
