What is meant by the Term "Sex Equity"?
The term "sex equity" in education refers to the concepts of equal treatment and equal opportunity for all students, regardless of their sex. Sex equity pertains to both sexes, contrary to standard perceptions. Boys or girls are experiencing sex equity if they are not limited in their academic and career pursuits, social and emotional experiences, and leisure activities because of their gender.
The achievement of sex equity requires the elimination of three different forms of limitation by sex: sex role stereotyping, sex bias, and sex discrimination. Many inequitable rules and actions based on sex have been eliminated in schools either by choice or by law. But the subtle forms of stereotyping, bias, and discrimination can frustrate students and hinder their progress. Both boys and girls suffer when expectations and acceptable behavior are determined solely on the basis of gender. When educating students, the concept of sex equity should be an integral part of planning and instruction.
