It seeks to explore the extent of gender stereotyping present in the school, the factors associated with the reproduction of gender stereotyping, and the effects on students' aspirations and school experiences. The study also explores students' own perceptions of gender stereotyping, their responses to it, and whether these varied according to race or class as well as gender. The findings showed that gender stereotyping existed within the school and that a variety of factors was involved. Students made stereotypical curriculum choices out of a desire to conform to accepted norms of gender appropriate behaviour, both in the family and the peer group, as well as in accordance with their personal future role.
