On Women Equality: ‘Change in Teaching Format is a Must’

Published

The country needs to change its education format to cater for gender equality, this is what Coalition for Better Education (CBE) pointed out during Tuesday’s Kapihan sa PIA.

CBE Executive Director Marilou Flores on Tuesday expressed belief that the change of teaching format is a must to allow women to have equality with men in terms of power, thinking, voluntarism, and even on aspects of physical strength.

During the Kapihan, which was held at the Cebu Normal University (CNU), Flores hinted that the change should start in school, through learned school teachers who are properly trained on this aspect.

She said that even the textbooks in elementary, secondary and tertiary levels should also be changed by showing awareness to the world that women are already capable of handling the tasks which are traditionally handled by men both in industrial and political area.

According to Flores, the traditional attitude of giving priority to men in education than women must be stopped. She added it is high time now that the old practice giving men a high respect than women should also be watered down.

Flores explained that giving an opportunity of women to gain higher respect in society should be preached in school.

She said that unlike before, where women was perceived to be only capable of handling traditional home works such as cooking, washing clothes and others; now it is different because women could be of great help to men especially on the livelihood and family matters.

Flores added that women nowadays have the capacity to be in tandem with men in any form of jobs, be it in the field or in the office.
