Girls Opportunities Severely Limited in High School Technical Education Programs

(Washington, D.C.) High school career and technical education programs havent progressed much since the days when girls were required to take home economics and boys were required to enroll in shop, according to Tools of the Trade, a report released today by the National Womens Law Center.
The comprehensive report and 12 state-specific toolkits examines girls participation in career and technical education (CTE) programs that are nontraditional for their gender. The report finds that, in spite of the 33-year-old Title IX law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, girls still represent the vast majority of students in traditionally female fields and boys are nearly all the students enrolled in traditionally male programs a pattern virtually unchanged over the last three decades.
