Abstract :
Open Schooling Curriculum has been designed for adult and part time learners. Male and female learners enroll in Open School with certain objectives or aim, which they could not achieve. But their objectives have wide differences. Purposes or aims of male learners to join Open School differ from those of female learners due to their socio-psychological environment. This study was initiated to examine whether Gender-Bias exists in the objectives of Male and Female learners in Open School and to identify those attributes where the difference is significant. Survey method was adopted in this work to collect responses of learners through Questionnaire . This study revealed that male and female learners differ on two basic attributes like, social activities and religious activities, while no significant difference of opinion between the two gender groups of learners is apparent in the matter of other eight objectives like: Aspiration, Co-operation, Understanding, Interest, Problem solving, Self-confidence, Self-respect, Economic Status.
