About this title

Synopsis

The Gender-Responsive School shows teachers, principals and school administrators how to spot the key spaces in school life where gender is important. It gives them tools to promote gender equality by changing attitudes and ideas among staff and students.

This action guide is full of activities that can be undertaken at either the individual or group level and is based on trials with teachers in a wide range of countries with different cultures, educational systems, and attitudes towards gender issues.

It shows how important school is, especially at the post-primary stage, in forming our ideas about gender roles.
