Gender equality in education: Scottish Youth Parliament research

This report contains the research gathered from young people which was used to inform the Theory of Change model. The Theory of Change will help the delivery of the Taskforce’s agreed ambition: to end systemic gender inequality in education and learning. A version of the report with additional images is also available https://syp.org.uk/project/gender-equality-in-education/


Limitations

This research has three specific limitations. Firstly, the resources provided to deliver this work were small and therefore limited the number of interviews that took place. Secondly, the timescale given to deliver the work was short which also limited engagement with a larger cohort of young people. Finally, gender equality in education is a complex topic with numerous intersections. This research, due to the limitations noted above, has not been able to consider the impact of gender equality in education on seldom heard groups, such as, for example, Black young people and young People of Colour. We strongly recommend that the views of seldom heard groups are actively canvassed as a priority, to ensure the intersections between gender equality and protected groups are appropriately addressed
