Explanations
a.(2)(6)“Girls”and“schooling”are the terms often applied to secondary school education.
b.(15)It can be inferred from the title of the book,Women,Science and Society.
c.(5)Be careful with the term“school”in the bibliography.The names for schools generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education.An institution where higher education is taught,is commonly called a university college or university.
d.(14)Sex segregation is the separation of people according to their biological sex.In educational practice,segregated education often refers to single-sex,the practice of conducting education where male and female students attend separate classes or in separate buildings or schools.
e.(9)(13)Higher education refers to college or university education as opposed to school or high school.
