Gender, School and Society – B.Ed Semester IV

The gender perspective looks at the impact of gender on people’s opportunities, social roles and interactions. Successful implementation of the policy, programmer and project goals of international and national organizations is directly affected by the impact of gender and, in turn, influences the process of social development. Gender is an integral component of every aspect of the economic, social, daily and private lives of individuals and societies, and of the different roles ascribed by society to men and women. Social scientists and development experts use two separate terms to designate biologically determined differences between men and women, which are called “sex differences”, and those constructed socially, which are called “gender differences”.
