Abstract:

This paper looks into the critical role of education towards advancing gender justice, synthesising insights derived from a wide array of scholarly articles and research studies. It informs through analysis of extant literature about the same systems of education serving as transformative structures in promoting gender equity and social inclusion. In doing so, it underlines the importance of gender-sensitive curricula, pedagogies, and institutional policies in empowering the marginalized, especially women and those identified as non-binary.

This review finds critical themes, such as the need for curricula that challenge dominant gender norms and stereotypes in thought for development, ensuring access to quality education for all genders and a safe learning environment in which everyone can succeed. It further focuses on educators and their professional development that equips them with the necessary tools to understand the inherent biases and to facilitate open discussions regarding gender issues in the classroom.

Although education can provide gender justice, many impediments hinder progress. These are institutional negativity towards change, financial constraints, and deep-rooted societal culture that continues to perpetuate the skewed inequality. This paper argues in favour of an elaborate reform in the educational system that brings into the gender-sensitive policies, community engagement initiatives and more funding for the practice of inclusive education.

While the above challenges are on one side, using education as an instrument of social transformation, the study proposes to forward a more just future; it puts the fight for gender justice at the doorsteps of education as a vital mover of this movement, pointing to the very edge of transformation that education brings in creating awareness, understanding, and action towards a just and inclusive society for all, regardless of gender.
