The report identifies key areas of focus in education, distinguishing issues of access, curriculum and school practices, and outlines the tactics and strategies used in each of these areas. [...] These include economic decline and the rise of populism and authoritarianism, conservative political forces, and the influence of religious organisations. [...] Two aspects of gender-neutral language policies and practices have attracted the attention of gender- restrictive campaigns: the acceptability of non-gendered forms of language in school environments and learning materials, and the use of students’ preferred pronouns. [...] The geographical diversity of examples underscores the scale and transnational connections, and thus the pervasive challenges for people and organisations seeking to promote gender equality in and through education. [...] Ways forward to counter the negative resurgence of gender-restrictive actors in education will need global support (through long-term, less restrictive funding, and the implementation of human rights frameworks and values) and national protection (through law and policy, responsible media, and open civic space).
