Promoting gender equality through school activities

Schools play a powerful role in shaping young minds, and that’s why promoting gender equality must start early — not just through lessons, but through daily school activities.

When both boys and girls are given equal chances to express themselves, lead teams, and pursue their interests without judgment, they grow up with respect, confidence, and empathy. These small changes in school culture lead to big changes in society.

Teachers also play a key role. They should use gender-sensitive language, avoid bias, and highlight stories of both male and female role models in subjects like history, science, and literature.

Promoting gender equality in schools is not just about helping girls — it's about teaching every student the values of fairness, inclusion, and dignity.

Rightly said. Schools play a vital role in shaping attitudes, and promoting gender equality must begin early—not just through curriculum, but through everyday practices. When students of all genders are given equal opportunities to participate, lead, and express themselves, they develop mutual respect and confidence.
Teachers are key in this process. By using gender-sensitive language, avoiding stereotypes, and showcasing diverse role models across subjects, they help build a culture of fairness and inclusion.
Promoting gender equality in schools benefits everyone it instills the values of dignity, equity, and respect in all students.
