Gender and Educational Policy

Gender and educational policy refers to the ways in which laws, rules, and practices in education address or affect gender differences and inequalities. Historically, many educational systems have favored one gender over another, often limiting access and opportunities for women and girls. Over time, policies have evolved to promote gender equality, ensuring that all students, regardless of gender, have equal access to education, resources, and support. This shift aims to empower all individuals, recognizing that education plays a crucial role in achieving broader social and economic equality.
