  1. School represents gender related  misconceptions . As the school need to address these misconceptions, curriculum help how to work on it. Curriculum help teachers how to senstivise children towards gender issues. 
  2. Gender misconceptions doesn't lie with women only . Patriarchal ideology mislead man related ideas also. The adjective term 'masculine 'frequently mis-guide people.' 6 pack ' humiliates many . These are all people related issues. Not of any single sex .
  3. Textbooks should address gender stereotypes. Gender awareness related lessons lessons should be incorporated in Textbooks. While teaching traditional literature, one should be cautious in interpretations. Pedagogical understanding is what needed most even  to those who has gender sensitivity.
