The education program is free of discrimination and provides equal opportunity for the students.  The education program will foster knowledge of and respect and appreciation for the historical and contemporary contributions of diverse cultural groups, as well as men and women, to society.  It will also reflect the wide variety of roles open to both men and women and provide equal opportunity to both sexes.
 

NOTE:  This is a mandatory policy and reflects the educational standards.   For more detailed discussion of this issue, see IASB's Policy Primer, Vol. 19 #10- June 8, 2007.
