Reassessing Gender and Achievement by Becky Francis

Reassessing Gender and Achievement by Becky Francis

This new and topical book, written by editors of the international journal Gender and Education, and aimed at educational professionals, draws together the findings and arguments from the wealth of material available on gender and achievement.

'This book leaves readers with the assertion that a commitment to diminishing gender differences is closely aligned to facilitating achievement for both boys and girls in schoolsIn this sense, it raises important questions about the processes of degendering and regendering that need to occur in order to address the limits imposed by the remasculinization of schooling that are engendered by the forces of neo-liberalism and their legitimation through educational policy.'

- Wayne Martino, Faculty of Education, The University of Western Ontario,Canada

'Francis and Skelton provide an excellent overview of the various theories and explanatory frameworks that have been mobilized for making sense of gender differences in achievement.'- Wayne Martino, Faculty of Education, The University of Western Ontario,Canada
