Abstract
The implicit acceptance of unquestioned social and educational assumptions about the future roles of girls leads to different educational routes, and less sophisticated equipment and courses. The allocation of resources in education shows that proportionately more, better, and different types were generally held to be automatically necessary for respectively, able and less able pupils; urban and rural pupils; older and younger pupils; and boys and girls. Thus a less able girl in a rural school has a triple chance of resource deprivation. The declining number of women in senior posts, makes future change still doubtful.Keywords
