Gender Balance in an Educational Environment

Amidst a pandemic, social inequalities, including gender balance, are challenged within organisations, communities and among society as a whole. To address these challenges within an educational environment, we brought together education leaders from across the country for an in-depth discussion that went well beyond the challenges brought forward by the COVID-19 pandemic, into a deep conversation about the segment’s history of gender inequalities and the vast advancements we continue to see year after year. But without a doubt, we still have a long way to go!
