🟡 Education🔴 Employment🟢 ICT and digital💡 Expands the STEM strategic plan
- Description
- Revise the Digital Education Plan ensuring that it covers all underrepresented groups to access digital education and a more complete definition of inclusivity in addition to gender(s), to consider physical and mental disabilities, neurodivergence, diverse abilities, sensory needs, socio-economic background, mobility limitations, language and literacy competence. In particular, action 13 of the DEAP should be expanded to incorporate more diversity not just across the gender spectrum, but incorporating other identity lines such as race, disability and class in a truly intersectional approach. In this sense it is essential to ensure that learning materials for digital education are designed with a multiplicity of needs in mind, adopting a Design for All approach. The shift to more inclusive practices should be reflected in KPIs and other targets, moving beyond a mere increase in the number or percentage of women (or other underrepresented groups) studying, working and doing business in digital and STEM fields, towards more comprehensive measures of inclusive representation , including at a minimum measures of diversity at all level of the organisation, within decision-making bodies, pay equity and chances of career advancement including diverse abilities and sensory needs, as well as (reduction in) cases of discrimination and harassment.
