This campaign aims to: ✅ Raise awareness of pay disparities ✅ Advocate for reducing the gender pay gap ✅ Equip women to negotiate fair pay Join #WomenEd in creating a more equitable education sector. Because fair pay isn't just about numbers - it's about valuing all educators equally. 🧵 4/4

How are women impacted? 🟣 Job sharing may limit promotion opportunities 🟣 Limited negotiation skills can affect salaries. 🟣 Systemic biases hinder career growth: 2024 NISRA report: "In the public sector, large gender pay gaps were identified in favour of married males and favouring single females."

#WomenEd Campaign Spotlight: Gender Pay Gap in Education Despite women dominating the education workforce, a significant pay gap persists - even in regions with structured pay scales. The gap widens with: 📏 Increasing school size 📚 The higher/more senior the education levels 🧵 1/4

Fantastic achievement and recognition for a powerful project on the #DreamGap. Congratulations, Sandra! 👏 #WomenEd
