You will remember that in grade 5, when you discussed the Human Rights Charter and children’s rights in South Africa, you learned that it is illegal and unfair to discriminate against anyone on the grounds of their colour, gender, language or religion. It is important that learners and educators alike should be very careful not to advance one gender at the cost of the other. Differences may be respected, but may never be the reason for discrimination.
Discrimination could possibly occur within the following contexts:
Leadership positions in schools
Each group is given one of the four contexts mentioned above, to consider. They are asked to discuss whether gender discrimination in that specific field is evident in their schools. They must also suggest ways in which to eradicate such discrimination.
