This can mean that the curriculum is irrelevant and often isolating to female students. Similarly, the experience and traditional knowledge of women is largely unrecognized in formal institutions like schools. In many countries, female children do not have the same access to schools that men have. This is aggravated by the social restrictions and expectations placed on women. Female children are often taken out of school at an early age to look after younger siblings, to help at home or to marry.
Women play an important role as educators.
Teaching is usually one of the main areas of employment open to women. However, the higher the level of study, the fewer female teachers. In most places, the responsibility for child care still belongs to women. It is women who spend time with children in their first few years. This is just one of the expectations of women, whether they are educated or not.
