INTRODUCTION

Gender and Development (GAD) is concerned with male/female students and his/her specific roles, responsibilities and
expectation in the school society. It also analyzes the nature of male/female students’ contribution within the context of work done
both inside and outside the Campus and reflects the public/private dichotomy that undervalues the work done by male/female
students in the school campus or at their home.

GAD focuses on the principle that development is for all. Everyone in society, female or male, has the right to equal
opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life.

Gender refers to the specific set of characteristics that identifies the social behavior of women and men and the
relationship between them. Gender alludes not simply to women or men but the relationship between them and the way it is
socially constructed. Since gender biases exist and these biases prevent people from attaining their full potentials, development is
impeded.
 Not a war of the sexes
 Not anti-Male
 Both women and men are victims although women more than men.
 Both have a stake in the struggle for gender equality
