Teaches norms and values that maintains patriarchy
Keeps men in their position and women in theirs
There are gendered subjects
Education socialises girls and boys
Even though girls outperform boys in education, feminists argue that it reinforces the patriarchal views of society which leads to girls having lower paid jobs when they leave school.
Feminists have been criticised for overlooking the change of positions that girls have in education. Some young women in their early 20s are earning more than men. Feminists focus more on positions in society for women instead of the more broad issue of gender and gender inequality.
