Beyond the classic concept of education, KWN interprets this to include informal education about feminism. As mentioned, transforming gender norms requires improved curricula from early education in pre-school, through all levels. Another important issue is inadequate sexual education in schools; while curricula exist, few teachers follow the curricula due to social norms.
KWN’s Strategy
The long-term goal of this program is improving access to quality education that challenges existing gender norms and power relations
Objectives include:
- Increase the number of childcare centres in proportion to the number of children in need.
- Improve curricula and textbooks from a gender perspective.
