Integrating Transgender Concerns in School: For the last few years, the discussion about gender neutrality is at its peak all over the world. Now taking a step forward in this direction, the National Council of Research and Training (NCERT) has issued a new guideline for schools across the country. The new guideline of NCERT focuses on the problems faced by transgender students in schools. In the new guideline, it has been talked about giving facilities to transgender students in many ways.
It should be mentioned here that the National Council of Research and Training (NCERT) has prepared a new draft for school students after the objection of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). Keeping in mind the transgender students, NCERT has suggested schools to have regular workshops, outreach programs and Gender Neutral Uniform. Similarly, by adding many new topics in the syllabus, it has been asked not to emphasize on caste and patriarchal system. The title of the new draft of NCERT is ‘Integrating Transgender Concerns in Schooling Processes’.
Transgender students can use this toilet
In the new guideline of NCERT, on the issue of toilets, it has been clearly stated that there should be special toilets for transgender students. It has been written in the new draft of NCERT that if a school has toilets for children with special needs (CWSN), then it can also be used by transgender students.
What does NCERT mean by gender neutral uniform?
Actually, Gender Neutral Uniform is the same for every student. Not only this, the gender-neutral uniform does not keep the students within the purview of any one gender. This uniform will work to eliminate the difference between boys, girls and transgender students. By doing this, NCERT has tried to give the message that every human being is equal. Let us inform that for the first time in 2020, the Gender Neutral Uniform System was implemented in Kozhikode, Kerala.
