Experiences of Gender Inequality among Teachers: A Case of Private Sector

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate gender discrimination and bias among school teachers in district Gujrat. It is evident that teachers are performing their duties in a best way and also faced different forms of discrimination such as economic, social, rights and many other interlinked forms. A quantitative study has been conducted and a multistage random sampling technique has been used to draw 250 teaching staff including female and male from different schools in district Gujrat. A cross-sectional survey has been conducted using structured questionnaire and pretested from 30 randomly selected teachers and the value of Alpha has been reported as .700 and above. Descriptive and inferential statistics have been employed to draw results and conclusions along with ANOVA and regression analysis. The study findings asserted that there is gender discrimination at private schools and women have been found treated unfairly at their jobs as compared to men. This gender discrimination is because of the society in which we live and because of the different family norms and perceptions that people have due to different backgrounds.
