Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) demonstrates its commitment to promoting gender equality in education through a data-driven approach aimed at assessing and improving student outcomes based on gender. By systematically tracking graduation rates and other key metrics, the university identifies any disparities between male and female students. This data is consolidated and reported through the Executive Information System (EIS), which allows faculty staff to monitor trends and pinpoint areas for improvement.
Through the EIS, the university can assess whether there is a significant gap between the graduation rates of male and female students. If such a gap exists, the data provides a basis for developing targeted initiatives and policies to address the issue. These initiatives may include scholarships, mentorship programs, or changes in course delivery to ensure that all students, regardless of gender, have equal opportunities to succeed.
By continuously evaluating and responding to this data, Undiksha ensures that its educational policies and strategies foster an inclusive environment where all students have the support they need to thrive, leading to equitable outcomes in higher education.
