Project activities include: (1) training TTC directors and faculty on gender-based analysis and human rights; (2) supporting TTC leaders to develop and implement gender-equitable policies and gender-sensitive courses, curriculum, and pedagogy; (3) providing career counselling on leadership and management to women instructors; and (4) supporting women TTC graduates in job seeking and job placement. This project works to improve gender responsiveness of leadership at select TTCs and to increase the supply of teachers, particularly women teachers, who apply gender-responsive pedagogies.
