Abstract
An exclusively cultural explanation is insufficient to explain sex differences but so is an exclusively bio‐deterministic approach. Certain sensory differences between the sexes have been demonstrated in the writer's research as a start to assessing the total problem in a synthesised way. The antecedents of these differences and their implications for education is discussed. Differences in learning are considered. In areas where the sexes contribute different skills, it is more important that the value placed on the differences be equal, than that the differences are eliminated.Keywords
