GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT TRAINING

SY 2019-2020

I. INTRODUCTION
The GAD (Gender and Development) approach focuses on the socially
constructed basis of differences between men and women and emphasizes
the need to challenge existing gender roles and relations. GAD involves the
differentiations attributed by a given culture to women and men in the
following aspects such as social roles, capacities, traits and characteristics.
To ensure that an absolute, definite, genuine and potential gender
biases are removed, the government embarked on gender and development
(GAD) as one of its priority programs. GAD focuses on the principle that
development is for all. Everyone in society, female or male, has the right to
equal opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life. Women and men
enjoy the same conditions for realizing their full human rights and
potentials to contribute to development as well as benefit from the results.

Deped - Agoncillo District considers and holds on that
gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential for
meeting teachers’ goals of comprehensive and continued
development, as gender equality needs to be pursued in its own
right for a just and equal society, and foster better development
outcomes. Some programs aim to address the various gender
needs and concerns of employees, officers, concessionaires of the
district and other individuals. To get involved in this kind of
activity, Pook Elementary School Deped Personnel

Games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Piko, Sipa, Trumpo, and
many others, are still played daily in the neighborhood. The 2019

distinct amusement to the six competing teams. Games like game
relay, maze, repelling, were played by 137 individuals while sack

would say that the Filipino Street Games are no longer played and has
vanished in Philippine society in the age of computers and high-tech
gadgets. The flexibility of Filipino mind to think and come up on
inventing games without the need of anything but the players themselves
and act made the games more interesting and challenging.
