Abstract

The study explores how far gender equity is promoted or inhibited in these countries which have national policies on gender equity and are committed to international policies to end discrimination against women. The five institutions too have organisational policies and practices in place for gender mainstreaming, curriculum innovation and affirmative action. They also encourage women into nontraditional subjects such as Engineering.The research concentrates on three areas: national and international policy, the organisational level, and individual interpersonal and social relations. It finds that the environment is highly-gendered and impedes women’s development as students and staff. This affects students’ learning environment and women staff’s academic identities.
