解落三秋葉　能開二月花：國際性別平等議程看教育領導

The Leaves that Fall in Autumn Can Bloom in February: Educational Leadership in the International Gender Equality Agenda

在全球經濟與社會快速轉變的脈絡下，性別與領導議題的關注重點漸有改變，自1970年代以來，研究文獻呈現出由著重領導者性別間差異轉向多元參與的趨勢。本文檢視不同性別在教育領導中的優勢和挑戰，並引入近年國際性別平等議程，包括聯合國永續發展目標（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）、未來契約，以及《消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約》（The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW）第36號和第40號一般性建議，以為當前教育中的性別與領導進程的參照標竿，並討論如何透過包容性與性別變革式領導推動組織與社會轉型。在臺灣教育領導的現況中，特別是高教領域，性別不平衡仍然存在，符合國際人權公約規準的性別平等領導在我國教育治理上日益重要。

Amid the rapid transformation of the global economy and society, the focus of discussions on gender and leadership has gradually shifted. Since the 1970s, academic literature has shown a trend from emphasizing differences between males and females to promoting diversity and inclusion. This article examines the advantages and challenges faced by males and females in all diversity in educational leadership, and introduces recent international gender equality initiatives, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and CEDAW general recommendations No. 36 and 40. These serve as benchmarks for current developments in gender and leadership within education. Today gender imbalance still persists in the current state of educational leadership in Taiwan– particularly within higher education. A gender equality perspective to leadership that aligns with international human rights treaties and fosters all-inclusive leadership for gender-transformative results, is becoming increasingly important in Taiwan’s educational governance.
