Sexual Stereotyping Among Personnel and Students Involved in Vocational-Education in Montana

Abstract

Research indicates that sexual discrimination exists in some aspects of public education in Montana (1). A recent survey also indicates that information about legal requirements for eliminating discrimination is not widely distributed (2). It is also true that, during the next few years, in the Montana school system of secondary and post-secondary in vocational education will initiate programs designed to eliminate sexual discrimination (3) based on the assumption that vocational education shares the tendency toward sexually stereotyped education which is pervasive not only in Montana but throughout all education systems (4).
