Mainstreaming Gender into Schools in the Taiwan Context
Li-Ching, Wang
Chinese Education and Society, v47 n4 p23-31 Jul-Aug 2014
Gender mainstreaming and gender equity education are specific practices for creating a gender-equitable society. Gender mainstreaming tools can be used to help educational institutions engage in more thorough consideration when implementing gender equity education. This article addresses gender mainstreaming, gender equity education, and the concept of gender mainstreaming in the education system, followed by a discussion of mainstreaming methods using two actual cases. The author argues that providing professional assistance and setting up a school gender equity education committee are ways to improve the quality of gender mainstreaming in schools. To promote gender mainstreaming in schools, education authorities can begin by proposing small-scale experimental programs and scale them up gradually. This will achieve superior results, and schools can also use the experiences of other schools as reference points.
