#Inclusivity

The foundation for Education and Social Justice Africa has called on the government to scrap the terms "head boy" and "head girl" in schools.

The foundation also says that these terms reinforce the mentality that leadership roles can only be occupied by individuals who conform to traditional gender identities.

It says these can be harmful to learners who identify as non-binary or transgender, as it sends the message that they are not equal or capable of holding leadership positions.
