Beyond the great divide

"This is a fundamental question that many Australian parents have grappled with in their desire to achieve the best educational outcomes for their children - both boys and girls - mainly at secondary school, though sometimes at primary level as well." "In Beyond the Great Divide, author and educator Judith Gill addresses the ongoing debate head-on. She starts by giving a brief overview of schooling in Australia and its various school systems. Understanding the history is fundamental to knowing why things are now as they are." "She then follows with an examination of the rationale for single-sex schooling, and leads readers through the evidence for and against the case for girls-only schooling. Gill then considers the recent push for reform to boys' education, and considers the argument for single-sex schools as a fitting response to boys' unmet needs."--Jacket.
