GENDER INEQUALITY : EDUCATION

“Gender inequality in Education”

    

There is a girl named Lily who is attending high school this year. Lily is an active,

cheerful, and confident student. She is gifted with long, curly brown hair and big, glittering

black eyes. She is keen on keeping her hair tied up because she likes to be clean and tidy

herself. Whenever she enters the classroom, others in the distance can smell her fragrant

perfume.

There are a total of 30 students in the class; boys occupy 28 of them, and the remaining

two are Lily and her friends. Lily was unhappy with the class division system and strongly

urged the school authorities to implement a new policy in which boys and girls are assigned

classes equally based on proportion.

One day, Lily's math teacher asked students who knew the answer to a math problem

to answer. Lily was the first to raise her thin white hand and shoot out into space like a rocket.

She was looking forward to answering the question. A few seconds later, other boys also

raised their hands to answer. The teacher let the boys answer, and he deliberately did not let

Lily answer. Lily felt very disappointed because this was not the first time the teacher had

treated her this way.

After class, the boys laughed at her relentlessly. They said that it was useless for Lily

to know the answer and kept sarcastically talking about her. Lily was so sad that she felt she

was annoying, so she ran out of the classroom and cried loudly.

After the incident involving the unfair treatment of Lily by her teacher, Lily developed a

different personality than before. A few days later, Lily came to school with her hair down and

her body smelling like fish. Lily was no longer active, cheerful, or confident, and she was

lethargic in class. When the math teacher taught her class, she looked out the window and did

not participate in class. She began to have low self-esteem and didn't like to communicate

with people.

As we can imagine, gender inequality in education can have a serious impact on

someone. So, we must highly concern ourselves with the issue of gender inequality and

prevent this unhealthy culture from thriving in our future society. All of us should change

gender inequality in education, not let it change us.
