“…When such stratification is connected to gender, it represents a structure of power, gender regime, and gender construction. As Watts (2013) stated, gender relates to society strutcure, especially in reference to higher education, and is significantly reflected in the cultural norms and is practiced on a daily basis. Additionally, the structure of an educational institution, as Messner (2003) stated, has -entrenched systems of rules, conventions, allocations of resources and opportunities, and hierarchical authority and status systems‖ (p. 65).…”

The purposes of this study were to examine the role of basic physical education curriculum in two universities and to ascertain how gender influenced Physical Education (PE) activity skills enrollment over a 10-year period. Researchers employed a cross-cultural quantitative approach. Data collection involved 127,956 students from a Taiwan university and a United States university. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and multiple regressions calculated with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings reveal differences and significant trends in: (a) the relationship between curriculum structures at the two institutions, (b) gender enrollment over years, and (c) the types of physical education activity skills courses taken.

“…The study of teacher training in the four constituent colleges is contextualised in a wider discussion of women's education in 19th-and 20th-century Britain (Watts, 2013) and feminist history more broadly (Scott, 2001). Froebelian principles of early childhood education are discussed as an example for changing perceptions of children, childhood and learning in the modern period (Hendrick, 1997;Lascarides, 2000;Nutbrown and Clough, 2014).…”

In this article we present a newly developed undergraduate module that is taught in the Humanities Department of the University of Roehampton. Campus and university themselves are the topics of the module. The module provides an opportunity for the students to engage academically with their environment. They study not only many interesting stories related to the campus, its buildings and artworks and the history(ies) of the university and its constituent colleges, they also explore their historical contexts. They have the rare chance to engage with original artefacts and archival materials directly unmediated by editorial and scholarly work. For their assignments the students conduct research projects that are based on the resources of campus and university. They are required to present the results of their research in a public forum to provide them, early in their university studies, with experience of public engagement.

“…Even so, history reveals that the government, on the national or regional level, even for males, did not supply the majority of education. Within Europe, formal education was supplied directly by the churches and universities, with the state becoming more involved in order to appease the multitude and meet industrial and military needs (Miller, 1998), in a way that replicates productive and principled nationals (Watts, 2013). Specifically, in Wales, formal education within the primary system was established by the religious provision (Watts, 2013), and similarly the state increased its influence.…”

This was implemented through grants, regulations and inspections until local administration began in 1902 through Local Education Authorities (LEAs).…”

This paper was designed to study inequality in studying science education in Wales through the Access to higher education pathway. The paper was mapped out to look at how the admission process into the university through Access has been unjustly treated. The paper uses a standard literature review to study relevant literatures as it relates to the study. The paper also used a desk research technique to discuss the inequalities in terms of class, gender and race. The findings suggested that the glass ceiling of unjust practices has not yet been broken, but merely raised with inequality in science education becoming a major challenge to accessing Higher Education Courses.
