Gender and development (GAD) programs are implemented in different organizations, including the public secondary schools where this study was conducted. Using a cross-sectional survey, the study focused on determining the experiences of 45 teachers on GAD programs and proposed an action plan based on their experiences for better GAD programs implementation. The experiences on GAD programs among teachers were based on the four areas identified in the ASEAN Conference on Civil Service Matters (ACCSM) handbook. These areas include recruitment and selection, performance management, rewards and recognition, and learning and development. Based on their experiences, the teachers perceived the four areas as very important factors in implementing GAD programs. Hence, an action plan was created to realize the importance of addressing issues related to the attainment of full equality and development among men and women teachers in public secondary schools.
