Five programmes about the education system. 4: Gender
At 11 girls and boys enter secondary school with much the same abilities and qualifications. But when they leave they are unequal. 'This', argues Dale Spender , lecturer and author, ' is because the school expects different things from boys and girls-boys are-prepared for their place in the world while girls are prepared for their place in the home.' with Heather Brigstocke

Brixton to Barbados
Reggae has its roots in Jamaica, and has found a home in Britain. But there are over 60 countries in the Caribbean, each with its own distinctive culture. Arena invited Linton Kwesi Johnson , Britain's foremost reggae poet, to investigate the remarkable richness and variety of Caribbean art on its home ground-the occasion was the Carifesta, a huge festival held this year in Barbados. Among the highlights were the Rene gades , one of Trinidad's most brilliant steel bands; the best of soul-calypso with The Mighty Arrow from Montserrat; ' Riddim ' poetry by young Jamaican Michael Smith; big-band Irakere with the exotic Latin jazz of Cuba and Rebirth, an extraordinary dramatic saga which symbolically unites the many different ethnic groups of Surinam through their myths and legends.
