Editor's Notes
- Stage 1: The ConceptKeen useful, with Malawi input and buy-in at each stage. Not duplicating other resources. The consultation asked:(1) Is the Gender Equality Act currently included in teaching activities that you deliver/are aware of? If so, please give further details.(2) Do you have a resource to help you in this task? If you do could we have a copy of it (3) What resources would be helpful to you in spreading knowledge about the Act?(4) With whom would you use such a resource?(5) What form would it take? (6) What must it contain?(7) What should be avoided?(8) Would you like to test the resource that is developed? 1st draft produced, and initial testing done by teachers at Falkirk High School, who have a school partnership will Malawi
- Stage 3: Testing Draft 2Currently at this stage. Looking for education professional and teachers in Scotland and Malawi who might like to read draft 2 and give their comments. If of interest, sign up in the reception at stall and an electronic copy of draft 2 will be sent, along with a feedback form.Stage 4: Malawi PilotOnce feedback on draft 2 received will send to Malawi for pilot in 6 Malawi school (Mamie Martin Fund)
- Stage 5: Disseminating resourceWorking with Ministry of Education (who recently signed MoU with Education Scotland), Ministry of Gender, UN Women in Malawi and MaSP to disseminate resource (hard copies and online).Need to consider viability of printing in Malawi. Any input on how we do this successfully would be appreciate too.
