| Abstract: | This article starts with a question made by a student: Are there any preschools in
Scania that are noted for having a marked policy of gender equality? The answer to
the question is a resounding “Yes there are”, within the context that the common
open-door preschool policy represents one of the most extensive gender equality
projects in Sweden.
The meaning of motherhood and fatherhood has slowly been changed by the parents’
dual participation in employment, as well as in household and parental responsibilities.
The relationships between the state and the family, the parent and the child,
and the mother and father have been deeply influenced by the development and
expansion of readily available preschool services. However, although gender patterns
have changed, gender regimes, such as gender segregation and hierarchisation,
characterise even the new social arenas.
The question made by the student was directed at the special kind of pedagogical
equality projects in preschools of today. These projects are discussed critically in the
article, wherein the Swedish concept of gender equality (“jämställdhet”) is problematised
as a marker for both nationality and class.
It is of special concern today to discuss the effect of preschools on childhood and
gender structure. In a time of restructuring and reorganisation of the welfare state
and of European harmonisation, it is of special importance to focus on preschool and
equality from a historical and international comparative perspective. The general,
highly qualitative and accessible preschool represents more than just childcare - it is
a pedagogical and gender political project with an embedded possibility to change
social order. |
