Spin‐off for the distaff side
Abstract
At a time when a great deal of attention is being given to the operation of equal opportunity and equal pay, it is proper for those engaged in further education to consider the extent to which the education system itself is reinforcing or helping to overcome disadvantages which women have traditionally encountered in their careers. The plight of the qualified teachers who cannot obtain employment is only one side of a coin, of which the reverse is the almost total absence of women on further education courses designed to equip them to be applied scientists, engineers, and technologists. The traditional avenues of tertiary education chosen by girls have been designed to equip them for careers in education and the health services.
