Gender Sensitivity in Higher Education: Demographic Influences, Classroom Practices, and Strategic Interventions in a Tertiary Institution

Gender, as a social construct, shapes patterns of interaction, identity formation, and power relations within society. It influences how individuals perceive themselves and others, and how opportunities and expectations are distributed across social groups. In many societies, long-standing patriarchal structures have historically privileged men while disadvantaging women, resulting in persistent gender inequalities embedded within social, political, and educational institutions. Although significant progress has been made toward gender equity, disparities continue to manifest in subtle and overt forms, particularly within educational settings.

Higher education institutions play a critical role in shaping social values
