Abstract

The schooling project of Modernity in the era of capitalism has been characterised by nurturing and reproducing a triple segregation of class, sex and ethnicity. This article analyses how the school system in Spain has been an active and effective ally of patriarchal domination, reproducing in an extended way a clearly androcentric culture, both in the framework of the segregated or mixed school, and under the more recent formula of the school for "all", supposed defender of coeducation and equality between the sexes. In addition, it develops a critique of educational historiography, in particular the (mis)use of the concept of "feminisation", which is scarcely receptive to the contributions coming from the field of feminist critical theory and historiography.
