SCHOOLS TO GET GUIDANCE ON SUPPORTING TRANS PUPILS

The education system in Wales is making a change to support trans students.

The Welsh government announced that, starting the next academic year, “extensive consultation” and “clear and well-informed advice” will be provided. The Inc. Project, led by School of Hard Knocks, offers this training to schools and other organizations.

The project led a focus group to learn more about what teachers needed in the classroom. They learned that teachers lack confidence in talking about issues relating to gender as it comes up more in the classroom.

Others said they knew it was a sensitive area and feared getting it wrong. This initiative is meant to change this and equip teachers with the necessary tools to help students.
