Abstract
This paper sketches a mood of indecision which can affect persons of goodwill in a multiethnic educational context when confronted by apparently conflicting demands for an education which satisfies the requirement for equal opportunities for women and the due recognition of the special status accorded to the moral education of women in some cultures. It concludes that the dilemma arises from a mistaken attribution of rights to entities other than individuals, and urges teachers to adopt a positive attitude towards the protection of individual freedoms.Keywords
