Early in the century, differences in boys' and girls' schooling were more visible on the secondary than the elementary level. At the same time, a government report concluded that many parents felt girls needed little more than half the education of boys.'Textbooks reflected a perception of the inferior position of women in society. There was special instruction for boys in woodworking, but the girls learned "home science." Literature for girls was chosen for its moral content. Because girls were given little instruction in mathematics and science, there were few women available to teach the subjects. Boys learned about agriculture, while girls learned domestic skills. Physical training was viewed as unladylike, while the arts, particularly singing, were encouraged. Popular attitudes encouraged women to stay at home. Experts blamed education for poor health among women. By mid-century, the government removed many vocational restrictions on women. The world wars had put more women in the workplace. Separate schoolswere maintained for the Maori, but the students were barred from speaking their native language. Educators sought to make Maori girls good farm wives. There are still differences in the ways schools teach boys and girls. Future planning must account for the fact thatwomen will continue to seek work outside the home. Contains 94 references.

This experience has often been vastly different from that of their brothers. Social attitudes, psychological theories, and assumptions as to the role of women in our society have dramatically shaped the education of young women. In turn this has led, until recently, to the virtual exclusion of women from public life and their limitation to the domestic sphere. The power of education is immense. It can stimulate, inspire and instil confidence and self-worth. Or it can do just the opposite dull intellectual curiosity and limit the horizons of personal growth. Ruth Fry's study of the school curriculum of New Zealand girls from the beginning of this century comes, then, as a welcome addition to the growing body of 'herstory'. If we are to change the future, we must understand the past. The voices of the strong-minded women of the late 19th century, such as Learmonth Whyte Dalyrymple and Dr Emily Siedeberg, who fought for access to education for women and girls, are now being echoed a century later. 1 oday's women are realizing that, despite the commitment to equality of educational opportunity which has characterized our educational system, girls' experience has remained far from equal. The focus has shifted from equal access to educationnow taken for grantedto the more subtle questions of subject choice, sexual stereotyping and career opportunities. And yet, despite the attitudinal barriers that still exist, I believe there is room for optimism. Tremendous gains have been made. It is not so long since women were being told that intellectual work would sap them of strength that would be better stored up for motherhood, or that luring girls away from their 'proper' function would 'endanger the progress of the race'. I 6 vi FOREWORD Although each generation of women has been subject to entrenched attitudes, each has also been able to look back and see that their experience has been different from that of their mothers, and that their daughters will benefit from opportunities they never had. It is different for daughters. Ruth Fry has brought a new perspective to the history of education. Her book will be an invaluable resource to educators, students and women's studies courses. But it also deserves and I have no doubt will find a wider audience as well. We are, all of us, products of our education. If we are to know ourselves, we must know what we have been taught, and what we can now usefully discard. ANN HERCUS Minister of Women's Affairs 7 Preface Th impetus to write this book came partly from a personal urge to give form to ideas emerging from my own experience over a number of years, partly from the current revival of concern for inequalities in the education of girls, and partly from awareness of a gap in our educational history. I make no apology for the fact that no such book has been written about the curriculum for boys. The emphasis in all the literature on schooling in New Zealand has, till recently, been so heavily weighted towards the needs and interests of boys that this can only go some way towards redressing the balance. What has been recorded on technical education for boys, apprenticeships and cadet training, gives bulk and disproportion to our educational history. Many of us who worked in schools in the years immediately following the Second World War believed that the best way to achieve equality, for ourselves and our pupils, was to maintain professional standards and keep at it, without drawing attention to the fact that girls were still at some disadvantage. The broadening curriculum opportunities which the Thomas Report provided seemed to offer hope for all. It was believed that the chances were there and equality would come. If the necessity for any kind of affirmative action was recognized, it was very much below the surface. A need to understand the processes by which this sanguine attitude to women's education developed and continued furnishes the theme of this book. Because only selected schools have been used, this cannot be regarded as a complete history. The gaps, or signs of partiality and prejudice, may inspire others to further research. I have had valuable help from people who have shared with me their experiences of education, as teachers, administrators, theorists viii PREFACE and recipients. As some were informal talks and some taped interviews, it is not possible to mention every name, and some may feel I have made little use of their statements. Everyone with whom I spoke made a useful contribution, if only to prevent me from going far astray, and to all of them I am grateful. I appreciate the support I received from the New Zealand Council for Educational Research and its director at the time John Watson. Those to whom I owe special thanks are Geraldine McDonald, Assistant-Director of the NZCER, whose interest kept me going; Colin McGeorge of the Education Department of the University of Canterbury who guided me in the paths of educational history; Leila Hur le who dipped into her experience as a principal and senior inspector and provided me with names from which my spread of enquiries radiated; Alistair Campbell for skilful editing; Carlene Grigg for patient typing; my husband, John,

    ARTICLE Family planning unmet need and access among iTaukei women in New Zealand and Fiji Radilaite Cammock, Peter Herbison, Sarah Lovell, Patricia Priest ABSTRACT AIM: The aim of the study was to identify unmet need and family planning access among indigenous Fijian or iTaukei women living in New Zealand and Fiji. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken between 2012–2013 in five major cities in New Zealand: Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin; and in three suburbs in Fiji. Women who did not want any (more) children but were not using any form of contraception were defined as having an unmet need. Access experiences involving cost and health provider interactions were assessed. RESULTS: Unmet need in New Zealand was 26% and similar to the unmet need found in Fiji (25%). Cost and concern over not being seen by a female provider were the most problematic access factors for women. CONCLUSION: There is a need for better monitoring and targeting of family planning services among minority Pacific groups, as the unmet need found in New Zealand was three times the national estimate overall and similar to the rate found in Fiji. Cost remains a problem among women trying to access family planning services. Gendered traditional roles in sexual and reproductive health maybe an area from which more understanding into cultural sensitivities and challenges may be achieved. amily planning is considered an to be in control of when to have or limit the important tool in averting maternal number and timing of children, giving them deaths and ensuring women’s repro- the autonomy and self-preservation that is F 1 ductive needs are met.

We are well into the term and its routines. Last week at assembly we recognized the students who gained NCEA Level 1 and 2 with Excellence endorsements. It was a great example to younger students to see the students from their House who had aimed high, and achieved at the highest level. I wish them well as they build on this performance for this year. Excel- lence can look different for different people. So as long as the goal is to do your very best, then reaching that goal is your ‘excellence’. Next week’s Student Achievement Interview Day is an excellent op- portunity for all three sides of the learning triangle – student, teacher, family – to check they are all working together and accessing all support required so that each individual student at the end of the year can say, “I did my best, and am proud of myself”. This year our focus remains on improving student achievement, engaging students through relevant learning pathways and retaining students through to the end of Year 13. We have been pleased to see movement in some areas already. Two examples are the achievement of last year’s Year 11 Maori students in NCEA which is definitely trending upwards and the increased number of boys gaining NCEA at Excellence.
