“In terms of participation in basic education, girls and boys are given equal chances with almost the same percentage share,” the Civil Society for Education Reforms Network (E-Net Philippines) said.
However, the group noted that the curriculum and learning materials that promote gender sensitiveness and fairness “persist to be a challenge in the education system.”
E-Net Philippines also noted the issue of an “unsafe learning environment” which contributes to drop-out cases in schools.
Citing the result of the 2015 National Baseline Study on Violence Against Children, the group said that “80 percent of Filipino youths have experienced violence and 14 percent of students in schools have experienced corporal punishment.”

Cape Town – The school environment at Zonnebloem Nest Senior in Woodstock is unsafe, the Schools Evaluation Authority report has found.
This was revealed in the SEA report which evaluates how well some schools in the Western Cape are performing.
The SEA independently evaluates Western Cape schools and develops reports which are published for parents and communities to inform them how well the schools in their areas are performing.
The evaluations, which was conducted on 24 and 25 February 2020, provide an independent and external examination of school practices and include recommendations on what should be improved.
