Abstract (may include machine translation)

This chapter provides an overview of the background to the Gender Equality Charter Mark Project. It describes the project’s rationale and the value of a whole-school approach. Differences in the socio-cultural and political contexts for the three countries (Hungary, Italy and the UK) that the project was based in are briefly described, as well as the different uses of gender terminology. After an overview of the different educational systems in each of the three countries, gender and educational policy, previous gender-related projects and development work is described in some detail. This chapter also outlines the structure of the rest of the book.
