What is GAD
Theoretically

paradigm of development
focusing on
• social, economic,
political and cultural
forces
• how differently women
and men participate in,
benefit from, and
control resources and
activities.
PH Operational
• The PH GAD program is
being implemented
through the GAD Plan
and Budget of all
government agencies
• GAD Budget of at least
5%
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.

Gender issues in PH education
Strategic gender issues to be addressed
1. Boys are underperforming in key education indicators
compared to girls
2. Indigenous people (IP) also fall behind in enrolment data
and experience discrimination
3. Higher education degrees manifest marked gender-
segregation
4. Gender biases and stereotypes remain, and are still
embedded in the curricula, instructional methods,
materials and learning media
5. 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
