Policy Making. The policy making function is the exclusive power of the Board and it is without authority to delegate such power to any other individual or group. However, the Board recognizes a responsibility to consult with and to be advised by enlightened professional opinion.

Policy Making. Individual schools and individual teachers enjoy discretion. It is necessary for the proper delivery of a professional service that they should do so. It is equally important however that they should contribute fully to the realisation of policy objectives established nationally or by the local authority. It is the task of school management to ensure that national and local authority policy statements are fully discussed and imaginatively implemented within educational establishments. Open discussion involving staff at every level is essential if schools are to xxxxxx the participative style of management which is required. Participation in decision making can serve to enhance self esteem and thereby improve motivation. It is likely that staff will feel a greater degree of commitment to policies which they have personally been involved in developing. Teachers as professionals should be entitled to contribute to debates on major policy issues.

It then examines the early studies on the analysis of the lack of women in the policy-making process. The next section explains the broader context and process of policy making and how political goals or interests that come from different feminist movements manage in the policy-making process. The article also discusses the genderedness of policy making, gendered bias, and recent developments in research on gender and gender equality.

As a result of these interventions or attempts at it, existing inequalities across all domains are affected in their nature or degree. As such, policy making can (re)produce gender+1 inequality or counteract it, through a reactive diagnosis or a proactive prescription. Starting with feminist activists and scholars challenging a lack of attention for sex and gender in policy initiatives and in policy-making literature, and accompanied by attempts at bringing women in and addressing the genderedness of policy making and the broader context thereof, a field evolved that contains both elements of diagnosis and prescription. More recently, similarly to policy praxis, this academic field focuses more broadly on the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies and strategies furthering gender+ equality. A growing number of gender+ scholars coming from a broad range of disciplines such as politics, anthropology, economics, geography, history, law, or social science studies specific policy fields such as child care, domestic violence, healthcare, labor market policies, reproducti...
