Reimagining a schooling culture of care Since the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, there have been renewed calls to reimagine education. In doing so, we must begin to engage with school dropout as a complex gendered phenomenon. Reimagining education requires us to shed unhelpful categories and seek new and inclusive frameworks, categories and ways of thinking, as we make sense of, and tackle the country’s school dropout crisis.

“Countless children and youth do not experience their lives as boy or girl; instead, they identify as non-binary on a spectrum of genders. Gender (as a social construct) intersects with interrelated constructs, such as socio-economic status, language, race, geography, ability and age.”
