The GATI initiative aims to achieve a systemic and cultural transformation in establishing a Gender Equality framework in Higher Education Institutions
There has been a lot of talk in the recent years about gender disparity in STEM. To counter this, the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, and the British Council have introduced the Gender Advancement through Transforming Institutions (GATI), an initiative that aims to establish a Gender Equality framework. Institutions that sign the GATI charter will adopt gender equality principles and create Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound (SMART) action plans for systemic and cultural transformation. In an interaction, Barbara Wickham OBE, Director, British Council India, delves into the framework’s importance, its potential to transform the Higher Education sector and how GATI’s salient features are aligned to the NEP 2020.
