Abstract:

Gender inequality in society is a genuine issue of concern. The paper describes the general impression of secondary education teachers in the implementation status of the Gender Responsive Basic Education (GRBE) Policy. There were 77 participants who answered the survey. The paper revealed that out of the five areas of the GRBE policy, only two areas were fully implemented. These are learner’s development with an average weighted mean of 4.48 and learning delivery with an average weighted mean of 4.56. The three areas, namely learning environment, learning resources, and assessment were found to be moderately implemented. The result showed that there was an implementation of the GRBE policy but the activities focused on two areas leaving the three areas not fully implemented. In the survey, there was evidence of not fully implementing the GRBE policy in three out of its five areas. The strength of the policy lies in all five areas. It is hoped that the findings of this study will serve as a guide in reassessing the GRBE policy leading to its full implementation.
