For a great majority of school going children, as also for teachers, schooltext books are the only accessible and affordable resource for education. Thus thetextual material that is developed for the school-going children is of paramountimportance in education. It is the text book that they are exposed to in the class room,and the teacher conveys its meaning and interpretation, while embossing his / her ownideas on the minds of children, who are yet in the formative stage. This is one of theearliest and most important influences on the young, growing minds. School textbooks and curriculum influence gender roles of students immensely. This paperexplores the English language text books taught in Government primary schools inTamil Nadu through a gender sensitive perspective. It is quite clear from the analysisof the text books that despite an explicit policy of gender sensitization of schoolcurriculum, gender stereotypes and gender bias still exists. It points to the need of preparing gender sensitive text book material based on feminist knowledge base.
