• Identify gender biases, stereotypes, representation gaps, inclusion risks and SRGBV-related content risks in content, examples, illustrations, language, roles, occupations, leadership portrayals, discipline practices, peer interactions and learning activities across sampled TLRs, including content that normalizes corporal punishment, harassment, bullying, coercion, victim-blaming or violence-linked gender norms.

• Assess alignment of the reviewed TLRs with Ghana’s relevant education and gender policies, curriculum requirements, TLR development standards and applicable international frameworks and good practice.

•Generate practical, prioritized and actionable recommendations to strengthen the development, review, approval and use of gender-responsive and inclusive TLRs in Ghana.
