7. Gender Equality in Education: the Role of Schools (2007)
What emerged
Schools in most cases reinforce the existing gender ideology, stereotypes, norms and expectations everywhere
schools have the potential of playing a transformative role in changing the prevalent notions and unequal relations, it does not necessarily happen on its own, and requires specific and targeted interventions in most cases.

8. Gender issues in PH education
Strategic gender issues to be addressed
Boys are underperforming in key education indicators compared to girls
Indigenous people (IP) also fall behind in enrolment data and experience discrimination
Higher education degrees manifest marked gender-segregation
Gender biases and stereotypes remain, and are still embedded in the curricula, instructional methods, materials and learning media
Women and girls continue to be vulnerable to sexual harassment and violence inside schools because of the lack of safe and gender responsive teaching-learning environment
