Gender transformative education: Reimagine education for a more just and inclusive world
Education has massive transformational power. Yet, the potential of education systems to achieve gender equality and equity — and fulfill its promise to all children — has not been fully harnessed in any country.
Gender-sensitive education acknowledges existing differences between genders. Gender-responsive education goes a step further, actively exploring ways to address inequalities and reduce harmful gender norms and practices. Both approaches offer essential tools in education, but they work within the existing system; they treat the symptoms. Gender norms and power relations must be dismantled to make any real difference to the opportunities for all children and young people in all their diversity.
Gender transformative education completely transforms education systems by uprooting inequalities.
