Question 17248 — gender equality and parity

Summary

Ms. Céline Calvez questions the Minister of National Education and Youth on the issue of promoting gender equality in student guidance. On May 31, 2018, Ms. Céline Calvez and Mr. Stéphane Viry submitted a report on the place of women in the scientific field entitled “Women and science: urgent action for real equality”. This work has shown that women still occupy too small a place in the so-called “hard” sciences and that despite certain advances, the situation evolves only very slowly, and sometimes even shows a certain decline. This imbalance is found from the choice of options at the end of school and into professional life. 23 recommendations are made in this report. The second recommendation is to propose and develop a continuing training offer for all staff educational professionals (teachers, guidance counselors, school heads) on the theme of equality between girls and boys and gender stereotypes. It is also suggested to provide online training against MOOCs. The fight for real equality between men and women must be waged at school. However, the report presented by Céline Calvez and Stéphane Viry demonstrates that the school is productive of inequalities by its way of considering girls and boys. Young girls are therefore less encouraged to follow a scientific course. To deconstruct these stereotypes, we must raise awareness among school staff and give them tools to identify these biases. Only half of the staff working in educational establishments currently benefit from such training. This is why she asks him in what As current or future reforms aim to offer continuing education and online training relating to the fight against gender stereotypes to all educational staff.
