On 6th October 2016, a workshop on Gender Sensitivity was organised by CBSE at the Centre of Excellence, Gurgaon. Forty eight teachers from 30 different CBSE schools around Delhi were invited to participate in the workshop. It was conducted by Dr. Akhilesh Kumar, Assistant Professor and Director, CBSE, Centre of Excellence.
The session started with a discussion on Gender Construct. According to the World Health Organization, sex is biological and universal, but gender is a social construct that varies from society to society.

Several practices that could be incorporated into the curriculum were highlighted. The resource persons suggested regular reinforcement for better sensitisation.
Education, which is gender sensitive, benefits members of both sexes. It helps them determine which assumptions are valid and which are stereotyped generalisations. It is important as, through it one can build a society that is rich in values and provides equal opportunities to both males and females.
