Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Uruemu Adejinmi:

Another important intervention we can make is to diversify our educators as well. Taking the example Dr. Mbugua gave of the 16-year-old, if there was a migrant educator in that system, they would have picked up that information. They would have suspected what was going on and intervened at the time to ensure that the unfortunate outcome that was experienced was prevented. It is very important to diversify our educators, even as we are upscaling current educators. There are a lot of cultural activities that we can pick up straight away when we are observing these children as they interact. That is a very important piece of work that we can look at.
