Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has developed a gender-competency framework for education and learning that incorporates intersectionality and anti-racism competencies, as part of the Gender Equality Taskforce in Education and Learning.
Answer
The Gender Equality Taskforce in Education & Learning developed a set of ambitions in order to help inform its work, including the development of an intersectional framework. Since then, discussion and work has been ongoing to refine the workplan, to ensure that it is able to enact the type of long term, complex, systemic change that is needed. I am committed to continuing and accelerating such work to ensure that girls and young women have a gender equal experience of education and learning.
