Gender and Education in Luxembourg and Beyond

The aim of this book is to provide a starting point for a
discussion about gender and education in Luxembourg
through national and international perspectives. The book
is divided into three different, yet also overlapping, parts.
The first part examines gender issues in nonformal and
informal educational contexts, such as the home but also
society at large. The second part of the book moves over
to gender issues in formal education. And the third part of
the book is devoted to gender considerations in working
life. Exploring various aspects of gender and education and
coming from a range of different backgrounds, the authors of
this book all share a common endeavour: the fight
against gender inequality and the belief in the importance
of an egalitarian education. The hope is that this book will
provide a point of departure for a reflection on existing
educational practices – in Luxembourg and beyond.
