In 2019, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) conducted thematic reviews to promote inclusion and equity through quality learning assessments. In part, to reinforce the notion that education contributes to building more inclusiveness and equity in society, and also to ensure that learning assessments are inclusive, and truly measure learning outcomes of all.
This thematic review provides an overview of the existing inclusive education policies and practices in the region and specifically focuses on how learning assessments interconnect and interact with issues of gender equity and equality.
The findings indicate that while much has been undertaken to ensure gender equity and equality is mainstreamed into education policies and teaching practices, little research or examination has been undertaken as to what role learning assessments can or do have in terms of gender equity.
