1. Development of Positive Thinking:

There are often teachers' with negative and conservative views in the school system. Such teachers also hesitate to advise students.

2. Discussion on Gender Equality in School Management Committee:

The management committee of any school consists of women and men only. Therefore, there should be extensive discussions on the losses suffered by gender inequality in the meeting.

 

For this, sociologists and philosophers should also be invited in the meeting from time to time. This will eliminate gender discrimination in both the school and the social system.

3. Equality in Educational Activities:

There should be' no difference between boys and girls in educational activities. According to the interest of the boys and girls, they should be provided the curriculum.

5. Equality in Indoor and Outdoor Activities:

There should be equality status in the indoor and outdoor activities in the school. If the interest of a girl is to participate ina high jump, long jump competition, then she should be given this opportunity.

While doing surveys in schools in the school, a record should be made while mentioning the names of girls of 6 to 14 years of schools going to school and by parents who do not enroll their child in school, school management should contact them at their home.

 

All the children and girls should make every effort to enroll in the school so that the status' of enrollment can be 100%.

In order to strengthen Gender equality, a parent-teacher association should be built in the school and the mothers should be brought towards in its construction.

Parents-teacher meetings should be organized within 15 days or a month, in which a wide variety of problems related to children and girls should be discussed intensively.

If any kind of discrimination is made by guardian in the child and girl, then there should be discussion in these meetings so that gender equality can be removed.
