Overview

This article examines gender mainstreaming's impact on equality in Vietnam's education sector, suggesting reforms for equity.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how gender mainstreaming translates into practice within Vietnam's education system and identify factors that perpetuate inequality.
  • Analyses interviews and documents from a 2010–2011 IIEP–UNESCO study involving ministry and university leaders.
  • Incorporates insights from Vietnam-focused scholarship published in the 2020s.
  • Gender mainstreaming makes equality visible but does not translate into decision-making power.
  • Three key mechanisms perpetuate inequality: moral economies of carework, gendered professionalism, and temporal biases in policy implementation.
  • Recognition of gender issues grows while actual redistribution of power and resources remains stagnant.
