  • Gender Equity in Education Today

    Gender equity in education has came a long way and has reached many victories towards equity in education. But, I think there is room for growth. The last moment in my timeline was in 2017, only 2 years ago. This shows that the United States is still learning and growing in gender equity in education. Furthermore, gender equity has room to grow dramatically in higher education. One example of this is the male based STEM majors. This allows there to be gender representation gaps in our nation.
