Nabbuye, H (2018) Gender-Sensitive Pedagogy: The bridge to girls’ quality education in Uganda. Washington: Brookings Global, pp. 1-19.
This work has been useful to me as it discusses the issues with implementing pedagogy. Nabbuye concentrates on education in Uganda. Girls education is different to that of boys. There is a high dropout rate for girls and thus they do not have the skills. The Ugandan Government decided to Try and help this by introducing a gender-sensitive pedagogy. They decided to train the teachers and implement it with the curriculum. They realised that by improving girls education, they can help improve gender inequality. They found over three years things did improve. Enrolment for girls increased to 99%.
But issues did arise. The teachers failed to administer the new system consistently. Teacher bias came into play here, they have lower expectations of girls and did not feel responsible for bettering a girls empowerment. The findings conclude that a Gender-sensitive will be an important step in helping gender inequality.
