Through this Guide, teacher educators are also reminded what teachers must know and be able to do in order to promote gender equality through education. The Modules can be used individually or comprehensively depending on the situation and context of countries.This Guide is dedicated to all teacher educators, whose intellectual rigour and tireless efforts to foster enabling environments for inclusive and gender sensitive education, are indispensable for success in continuing education.
