Article Evaluation - International Community School (Thailand)

Most of the information in the article is true and relevant to the topic. Overall, the article has a neutral tone. The citations are few, but reliable, relevant and working The entire article contains only one citation, hence the information on the age is limited. The page in general is lacking information. The lead section is clear, but relatively short. Under the history section of the article, there are important edits/updates to be made especially as the school is about to open a new campus. Some of the positives of this article is that it is very neutral and does not have opinion statements.

Editing Plan - Parental Leave

My plan is to create a new section in the Wikipedia article under “Effects of parental leave” called “Effects on gender equality”. In this new section, I intend on adding information on the effects of varying parental leave policies on gender equality. More specifically, how generous parental leave policies that take into consideration both parents affect gender equality in different countries like Germany. I will also move the “Gender equality” section that under “Benefits of universal, paid parental leave” to be under this new section I created because it did not provide enough substance to be a section of its own, nor did it belong to the topic it was under. Below are some of the sources I am looking to reference.

Draft for "Effect of Parental Leave on Gender Equality"

Some countries/regions have implement paid parental leave policies for both parents, which promotes gender equality, while some countries, like United States, only have unpaid maternity leave. These parental leave policies has an impact on gender equality with regards to parenting and is therefore used by various countries as a tool to promote gender equality.
