Question

How can we implement equality at school level? Give your suggestions.​

Answer 1

In an equitable classroom, individual factors don’t hold back students from reaching their full learning potential — factors like:

• Race
• Culture
• Gender
• Religion
• Ethnicity
• Immigration status
• Individual experiences
• Socio-economic status

Boys and girls must feel welcome in a safe and secure learning environment. Governments, schools, teachers and students all have a part to play in ensuring that schools are free of violence and discrimination and provide a gender-sensitive, good-quality education. To achieve this, governments can develop nondiscriminatory curricula, facilitate teacher education and make sure sanitation facilities are adequate.

Answer 2

1. Challenging negative attitudes amongst students.
2. Avoiding stereotypes in curricular resources and examples.
3. Setting clear rules regarding how people treat each other.
4. Treating all students and staff equally and fairly.
5. Creating an all-inclusive culture for staff and students.
