TheOdishagovernment will sign a memorandum-of-understanding (MoU) with J-PAL, a research centre, to improve gender-based outcomes in the state.
The PARTNERSHIP aims to accelerate gender by changing stereotypical attitudes and behaviours among schoolgoing adolescents.
The programme will focus on integrating the gender equity curriculum into the school syllabi for classes VI to X.
The purpose of the gender equity program is in synchronisation with the goal of the 5TSchool Transformationprogram, which aims to help children dream big and move forward with confidence to face all challenges in life.
The program will be implemented in the academic year 2022 and onwards. The curriculum will come as a supplementary textbook for social studies and its allied subjects this year.
