Gender Statistics and Enrollment Report
The Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) advances an inclusive and genderresponsive learning environment through its Gender and Development (GAD) Program. Guided by the University’s vision and mission, GAD promotes equality, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based planning to ensure that all students and personnel have fair opportunities to grow, lead, and thrive
As such, the University established and regularly updates the sex-disaggregated database (SDD) to track progress on gender equality goals, showing the differences among men and women as basis for data-driven planning and strengthening MMSU’s commitment to gender-fair development. SDDs are necessary statistics to account for broader gender analysis, taking into considerations on the gender roles, relations, and inequalities and reveal differences in experiences, needs, and outcomes. Presented in this section is the SDD collection for AY 2023-2024 (2nd Sem); 2024 mid-year; and AY 2024-2025 (and 1st Sem) per college and per degree program.
