Gender Equality Education Conducted for 105 Schools

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Education announced on the 18th that it will conduct 'Gender Equality Education Visiting Schools' until December 22 to help students develop gender awareness skills necessary for living in the digital age.

The program will provide two hours of education to a total of 105 schools, including 70 small-scale elementary schools, 25 middle schools, and 10 high schools that find it difficult to conduct education on their own.

The Ministry of Education is systematizing preventive education for students as digital sexual crimes against children and adolescents are becoming increasingly serious due to the rapid expansion of the digital environment.

Based on customized preventive education materials for each school level, the education covers the meaning and types of digital sexual violence and prevention methods using real cases.

Jang Sang-yoon, Vice Minister of Education, said, "We will continue to support sexual violence prevention education and gender equality education to protect students from the increasingly sophisticated and intelligent digital sexual violence and to help students cultivate gender awareness skills suitable for the digital age."
