RERS 2019 - Les femmes dans l’enseignement supérieur

En 2018, le taux de scolarisation des femmes de 17 à 29 ans dans l’enseignement supérieur est plus élevé que celui des hommes quel que soit l’âge ; en 1997, le taux de scolarisation des femmes égalait celui des hommes à 29 ans. Cette proportion peut varier considérablement selon le type d’études (3).
Les femmes sont largement majoritaires dans les formations paramédicales ou sociales (86 %), tandis qu’exception faite de la Paces, elles sont minoritaires dans les formations sélectives (43 % en CPGE, 40 % en DUT), et plus encore en sciences (28 % des effectifs des formations d’ingénieurs, 31 % des étudiants de CPGE en filière scientifique). Ces disparités se retrouvent à l’université où les jeunes femmes y représentent 59 % de la population étudiante.
C’est dans les disciplines littéraires que la part des femmes est la plus élevée, en particulier en langues ou en lettres-sciences humaines (69 %). Si les femmes représentent 64 % des étudiants de médecine, odontologie, pharmacie, elles restent minoritaires dans les disciplines scientifiques (38 %).

UK’s LGBT teachers still scarred by the legacy of homophobic legislation more than 30 years on
LGBT teachers were asked which members of the school community were aware of their sexual identity.
