Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
A school's genuine commitment to gender equality is best reflected by actions that directly work to reduce gender bias — for example, by addressing the stereotypes and assumptions that underlie unequal treatment — rather than by one-off symbolic gestures, routine organisational choices unrelated to bias, or measures that direct encouragement to only one gender.
Organizing workshops on gender stereotypes is an action that directly targets that root cause: examining and discussing gender stereotypes is a step toward reducing the very attitudes that produce gender-based inequality.
Celebrating International Women's Day only involves marking a single specified date each year; the option does not describe any further step that addresses gender bias beyond that occasion.
Forming single-gender sports teams for competitions is a routine way of organising a sporting activity; the option does not describe this as a step aimed at reducing gender bias or promoting equal treatment.
Encouraging only girls to participate in science clubs directs that encouragement to one gender rather than to every student, which the option itself does not frame as a step toward reducing gender-based inequality.
