Abstract

Access to basic education is a fundamental human right. Ensuring this
right is a reality for girls and women needs a commitment at a local,
national and International level.
The challenge for educators, policy makers and all stakeholders is how
to ensure this is addressed. The aim of this International Women’s Day
report is to provide a lens on gender, learning and empowerment.
This research aims to understand and provide evidence of how
the further education (FE) sector is vital in transforming lives and
communities in 21st century Britain.
The study provided learners, teachers, parents and employers with
the opportunity to tell their stories, linking the distinctness of FE to
the impact it has on individuals, society and the economy, and strongly
drawing out the role of the teacher in making a difference to quality
teaching and learning. The research data provided a rich source of
evidence for the empowering and inclusive work undertaken in FE
for sector representatives and policy makers to draw upon.
This report presents some of the findings in relation to women’s
stories of empowerment from the research project.
