I do not doubt that but if this is to work the way we all believe it should, it must highlight the basic and fundamental equality issues in Departments. Rather than looking at a specific stream in education, for example, we should be looking at access to education. The various disadvantages faced by women, particularly by women who do not finish school, should have been the starting point before going on to examine apprenticeships, second level, third level education and so on.
