Abstract
The Equal Opportunities Commission report on initial teacher training in England and Wales (EOC 1989) illustrated that equal opportunities, and specifically gender, occupy only a marginal place on initial teacher education courses. This raises the question of what part recent educational policy plays, or fails to play, in the promotion of equal opportunities and antisexism in the teacher training arena. This paper documents some of the recent policy trends and argues that these serve to discourage rather than encourage positive action.
