The U.S. Department of Education is now making some moves to give women equal rights to have opportunities in Career and Technical Education (CTE). The agency has even made some new guidelines on June 16 referring to these changes that they want to implement in order to support gender equality in CTE.
In an article published by Argus Leader, this move done by the Department of Education is for the purpose of women to also gain benefits from programs involving Career and Technical Education. Most of the time, it is only men who get to have access to these kinds of programs when women should also be a part of it.
It is very seldom that we get to see women in the field of chemistry and other technical subjects because it is an area dominated by the male population. This is something that the U.S. Department of Education wants to change and a lot of people think it is revolutionary. It is about time to implement something like this in the changing society.

In an event back on June 17, the Department of Education gave out some guidelines to teachers in order to make sure that students, no matter what their gender is, they would be able to have an access to CTE programs. U.S. secretary of Education, John B. King Jr. made a personal statement regarding this subject saying he wants to see his two daughters have an access to these programs as well. In a way, he understands parents who have kids who would like to pursue their dreams in the technical field. He wants to make sure that all students are given the proper tools while attending any of the CTE programs.
