Gender plays an important role in education and the experience of learning for students. Inclusive and equitable access to education is not only a Sustainable Development Goal in its own right, it is a means to achieving gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls. Yet even if access is equitable, early role modeling can also have a life-long impact on confidence and future opportunities in the workpalce.
With March the UN ‘gender equity awareness’ month, Asia Education Foundation (AEF) and the Australia India Institute, Delhi (Aii Delhi) are pleased to announce the second webinar in the Equity in Education: Shared Perspectives between India and Australia series on Gender.
This event will be delivered as one 60-minute panel discussion; dived into two sections. The first between leading educators and second between industry leaders from India and Australia. Each panellist will share their direct experiences, insights, and key analysis of how gender has become a defining factor in modern education, including how the pandemic has brought that stark reality to the surface.
