Unesco and its partners responded to that call by launching lesson plans last week that can be used all year round to bring discussions on sexual and gender diversity into the classroom. Further work to build teacher capacity to address these issues is also under way through a strengthened partnership between Unesco and Plan Thailand, with support from the Netherlands Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and the Swedish International Development Agency. The idea is to promote a “whole-school approach” to tackling bullying, that aims to make all schools safe havens for learning.
