children of both genders may receive a great education. In contrast, gender inequality is a kind of (1)
treatment that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. For example, (2) comments which used to be male-

in class discussions, and read out loud from class readings. Due to this class control, teachers often

voices are to be heard. Allowing young women to work at discussions and encouraging them to develop their
views are a successful way to reach gender equality.
