Question 17253 — 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, the MP and the MP 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 a place too limited 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 fifth of these is to provide for the participation of experts on the theme of gender equality and gender stereotypes in the groups of experts working on the programs and the common core within the higher program council. Numerous studies show that school programs convey certain stereotypes and do not sufficiently highlight women. This issue must be taken into account during the next revision of the programs. This is why she asks him if the elimination of stereotypes in the school programs is a project planned for the revision of the programs.
