Meaningful and active engagement with students within schools is vital, as students feel heard, provide input into who they envision change school look like, and are able to shape their own experiences within the school environment.
There may be opportunities to involve students in planning, informing and consulting with the wider student body through any leadership or council processes that exist. Students are often strong advocates for this work and can have significant influence and impact on gender equality in both their school and social settings.
When schools value the voices, thoughts and opinions of students, actively promote their engagement and see it as crucial to whole school change, that change will be more effective.
