The Institutionalization of Gender and Its Impact on Educational Policy.

Stromquist, Nelly P.

Comparative Education, v34 n1 p85-100 Mar 1998

Survey of 48 multisectoral women-in-development (WID) units in governmental bureaucracies of developing nations indicates that most have educational activities but tend to focus on nonformal education for adult women (literacy, health, vocational education). Their limited contestation of the ideological function of schooling makes these WID units relatively ineffectual in altering the reproductive functions of formal education. (Author/SV)
