Why focus on Gender Equality? 

One of the principles of the Educate Together Charter is that our schools will be co-educational but what does this mean in 2017? Co-education means more than educating boys and girls together in the same class or school. It means educating all students together, providing equality of access and experience to each student irrespective of their cultural background, belief system or gender. But how is this lived out in practice?

This conference will seek to discuss and explore the gender matters that face us in education in Ireland. We will consider important questions such as:

•   How do we increase the gender balance in participation in STEM subjects?

•   How do we tackle gender discrimination and stereotyping in our schools?

•   How do we manage school sports to ensure participation by all students?

The UN has identified Gender Equality as one of its Sustainable Development Goals and Gender Equality is an important element of Ethical Education. With issues related to Gender Equality gaining increasing attention in the media, its important that teachers and students are prepared to discuss these issues, to critically analyse representations of gender and to challenge gender stereotypes. We all have a role to play in making Gender Equality a reality. We believe 
that education is one way we can make a difference and get a step closer to achieving that goal.
