| Abstract: The study investigated the effect of gender sensitivity on discrimination among secondary school students. 100 senior secondary school students were used for the study. Related literatures that discussed issues of gender sensitivity and discrimination among students were used as theoretical basis for the study. Three research hypotheses were developed for the study. A research instrument titled “Gender Sensitivity and Discrimination Scale (GSDS) was used to collect data for the study. The instrument had 14 items which was validated with a reliability coefficient of 0.81 which shows that it was reliable for the study. Linear correlation and regression analysis was used as a statistical tool to test for relationship between the independent and dependent variables. From the findings, it was discovered that there was a significant relationship between parents attitude towards gender sensitivity on discrimination among secondary school students, while teachers attitude and that of government were not significant in contributing to cases of gender sensitivity amond students.. Recommendations were also made. This study will be significant to counsellors and the general public in sensitizing parents on issues regarding gender sensitivity so as to guide them on fair and equal treatment among their children or wards in order to curb discrimination among secondary school students. |
