The Schools Division Office of Nueva Vizcaya Gender and Development (GAD) Focal Point System is steadfastly committed to embedding the principles of gender equality, diversity, and social inclusion across all facets of basic education. Guided by our dedication to transformative leadership and community empowerment, we strive to build a progressive educational ecosystem where every learner, educator, and stakeholder—regardless of gender identity, background, or orientation—thrives in a safe, fair, and supportive environment.

We actively integrate gender-responsive perspectives into governance, policy formulation, curriculum delivery, and human resource development throughout the division. Through strategic advocacy, continuous capacity-building, robust monitoring, and collaborative partnerships with local communities, we systematically identify and eliminate gender disparities, discrimination, and systemic barriers to learning and professional growth.

By prioritizing evidence-based GAD planning, transparent resource allocation, and sustained capacity enhancement for all school heads, teachers, and non-teaching personnel, the GAD Focal Point System serves as an active catalyst for institutional change. Together, we foster a culture of mutual respect, shared accountability, and zero tolerance for gender-based violence.

In unity with the learners and communities of Nueva Vizcaya, we remain dedicated to nurturing empowered, compassionate, and globally competitive citizens who champion fairness, advocate for social justice, and contribute meaningfully to a truly equitable society.
