December 2025| Nieva Elementary School actively empowers its KS2 learners through a Gender and Development (GAD) Symposium. ✨💜
Gender and Development (GAD) in the school community promotes equality, respect, and inclusiveness among all learners. It ensures that every child—regardless of gender—feels valued, protected, and given equal opportunities to learn, lead, and grow.
To promote equality, Nieva ES conducts a GAD Symposium to Grade 4 to Grade 6 learners. Their speaker, Ma'am Lyka F. De Los Santos discussed the Basic GAD Concepts, helping learners understand the importance of respect, equality, and inclusiveness.
Meanwhile, Ma'am Janice P. Maraya emphasized awareness on Gender Stereotypes and how these can affect choices, opportunities, and relationships.
Through these meaningful discussions, our young learners are becoming more aware, more confident, and more engaged advocates of a gender-responsive school community. 💜
