PASIG CITY, Mar. 10 In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD), Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones emphasized the importance of gender sensitivity education in narrowing the gender disparity.
“We must review our own curricula and materials to ensure that they are gender sensitive to give both girls and boys the value of gender focus,” Secretary Briones said in her message during the IWD virtual forum organized by International Cooperation Office (ICO) on March 8.
Briones said that gender sensitivity education should be carried out not only in the culture and arts but also in science and health to amplify the skills that the learners may need to prepare them for leadership roles.
