And why are teachers expected to understand, and to respond to, issues linked to gender?  \nThese are two questions that the national Department of Education (DoE) will be answering  \nin this six-part Genderations series. These resources have been developed by the DoE especially to support teachers with gender-related issues that may occur in their schools.  \nThe six Genderations editions will focus on two different matters linked to gender:  \n1. Preventing and managing learner pregnancy at schools  \nThe first three editions set out the DoE’s Measures for the Prevention and Management of Learner Pregnancy.  \nThese Measures set out the role that educators should play to help reduce teen pregnancies even further. They also set out what procedures educators should follow if a schoolgirl does fall pregnant.  \nThe first three of the Genderations series will be filled with useful information from the DoE’s Measures document, as well as giving practical support to help teachers deal with this matter in the best way possible.  \n2. Preventing and managing sexual violence and harassment at schools  \nThe last three in the DoE’s Genderations series will focus on another area of critical importance linked to gender: sexual violence and harassment.  \nThe content for these three editions set out the DoE’s Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Sexual Violence and Harassment in Public Schools.  \nThey will clearly define the range of acts that are seen as sexual violence and harassment, and the terrible effects that the victim can suffer.  \nThey will also set out strategies for schools that can help prevent such abuse from happening, as well as the procedures educators should follow in the event that an incident of sexual violence or harassment does occur.  \nThese three Genderations editions will also be full of information about practical support and resources available to educators when handling these difficult matters.  \nCollect all six of the Genderations series, and file them at school for future reference.  \nIn ThIs Issue: ParT 1: Preventing and managing learner pregnancy • Key facts from the Measures • a teenager tells his story • What educators can do to help  \nGenderations   \n PART 1 of 6 Caring School Communities    \nGender equity Directorate TeL: (012) 312 5420/8  \nFaX: (012) 312 5218  \neMaIL: [ramatlo.c@doe.gov.za](ramatlo.c@doe.gov.za)[mononela.m@doe.gov.za](mononela.m@doe.gov.za)  \nHelping you to help young adults  \nThe national Department of Education (DoE) believes  \nin the ideal that women and men should only become  \nparents when they’re ready for the practical and emotional realities that go with having a child.  \nWe also firmly believe that, as young adults, learners should be focused on their education, enjoying their youth, and planning for their futures – not unexpectedly becoming parents .  \nhOW DOes “GenDer” reLaTe TO Teen PreGnanCY?  \nSimply put, gender refers to how males and females are socialised to become “boys” and “girls”, “men” and “women”.  \nThe identity of each one of us is shaped by society’s expectations of what it is to be a “man” or a “woman”.  \nThis shaping is done through what we’re taught by those who raise us as children, and in social institutions such as schools.  \nFor example, young men may be taught that to be“masculine” means they should be dominating and assertive.  \nYoung women, on the other hand, may be taught that being “feminine” means being sexually desirable, and available, to men.  \nThis can create situations that make having sex at a young age more likely.  \neDuCaTOrs haVe TheIr ParT TO PLaY  \nUnplanned schoolgirl pregnancy is not something that educators should have to handle alone.  \nParents, health professionals, and the broader community must also play their part in making sure learners are informed about sexual matters; mak","cbCaihJm8wMuSnVn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJm8wMuSnVn","pdf",3393985,"English","# Part 1 of 6 Caring School Communities\n## Key questions: what is “gender” and why teachers must respond\n## Gender and teen pregnancy: socialisation and identity\n## Educators’ role and shared community responsibility\n## Support for educators: Measures for prevention and management\n## Key facts from the Measures","[{\"question\":\"How does the document explain the link between “gender” and teen pregnancy?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that gender refers to how males and females are socialised into “boys” and “girls,” “men” and “women,” with identity shaped by society’s expectations.
