Abstract
Drawing data principally from interviews with both parents of fifty families, this study found that while parents reported that they believed that girls should be educated equally with boys, such ideas were not put into practice in the home or in arrangements for schooling. Changes in the symmetry of parental roles were not reflected in parental practice or planning for girls and boys. In particular, girls were not encouraged to perceive a continuing work role as part of their future, nor boys to involve themselves with the home and child care roles. Traditional sex roles for the next generation were assumed.
