SEXISM IN EDUCATION

The worst truth of our society is sexism in premises of schools, colleges and universities as well the public places. But today my concern is about sexism in education sectors.
As i have research on, I found multiple facts and worst reality in our education sectors. Normally the thing which i have noticed commonly in education sectors of Pakistan is, the gendered equity. Maximum of students girls & boys both are gendered.

Sexism in education sectors:

Now, what happen? At the very least stage in schools, colleges & universities boys are targeting girls by physical action, verbal, none-verbal, unwanted touches and more else. At the initial stage of sexism boy approach to girl and chat with her normally but after chatting they become hardly to vulgar language and this is the 1st step of sexism between boy & girl.
We have also noticed girls who targeting approach to boys to be his boy friend but hardly its happened.

Untrusted reality:

I've shocked when in 2015 i heard and saw the victim girl who performed sex with his male teacher in university. Then time to time this reality became common for me.
In education sectors 17% of male teachers having sexual relation with their various type of girls student and they forgot, i m a teacher.
But the twist is, 29% girls want to be free chat and sometimes unwanted touches and to be physical with their male teachers just for good marks and grade.
And then their intention convert into sexual relation.

Sexism in % cent:

As per my research i've s concluded the ratio of sexism in education sectors are as following:
▪71% of boys targeting girls to be his girl friend.
▪14% of girls targeting boys to be her boy friend.
▪13% of boys and 67% of girls are serious and loyal to become future birds.
▪35% of boys want a sexual relation with girls and they do also slightly.
15% of girls are open to be sexual with boys whether her boy friend or whoever else.

Sexism ratio in ages:

▪Age between 15-20 is the most worst group of both gender having sexual relation rapidly.
▪Age between 20-24 is the mature the group of both gender who choice to be sexual with each other but often and carefully.
▪Age between 25-30 is the most matured and stable group who hardly avail sexual relation with partner.

Reporting & responding sexual harassment:

The reporting of incidents of sexism and sexual harassment is crucial to providing support to those who experience it,
establishing the scale of the problem, and preventing it from occurring in the future.

To enable this, students need to know how and who to report incidents to, and be confident that they will be taken seriously and the report acted upon.
While there are some schools doing excellent work to identify and respond to sexism, my research findings indicate that the majority of schools are not.
The main reason students give for not reporting incidents of sexism and sexual harassment is how common it is:

It is seen as an everyday part of students’ lives.
There is a vicious cycle of under-reporting of sexism in schools.
Even when an incident occurs that students clearly recognise as harmful and unwanted, students are currently
unlikely to report it.
They do not believe the teacher would take reports of sexism and sexual harassment
seriously, and anticipate that they would be viewed as being difficult and oversensitive.

Underreporting contributes to a view among school leaders that sexism is not a problem requiring action - so the issue
is not raised with students.
This institutional silence on the matter fuels the perception (or recognition) among students that sexism and sexual harassment is considered to be ‘normal’ and unimportant, which in turn fuels a reluctance among students to report it.

How to tackle sexism in education sectors:

•The Department for Education (DFE) must urgently make tackling sexism and sexual harassment in schools a policy priority.
To realise this policy priority, the DFE should.

• Issue guidance to all schools on how to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and sexual violence.

•The guidance should
be developed in consultation with sexual violence specialists, education professionals and education unions.

•All Ofsted inspectors should receive comprehensive training on how schools can address and prevent sexism.

• Ofsted should recognise schools that take effective action to tackle sexism.
