The trend of interest in the issue of gender equality, according to the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, has been given importance in higher education institutions to create awareness and promote women's rights, and gender equality and strengthen the internationalization of higher education. Nowadays, gender equality is an issue that is given great importance in the operations of government agencies such as the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Public Health, etc., and non-governmental organizations and civil society. As a result, graduates in this field will have roles and could be selected to perform important work related to the aforementioned issues. In a situation where the new generation is very interested in the trend of gender equality, the survey team sees that knowledge of gender studies and development should be open to all members of society, including women, men, and LGBTIQ+ people, and should be extended to the greatest extent possible. In the future, opening the Bachelor of Arts program in Gender Studies and Development would be one way to open and expand such knowledge. To be an alternative for creating human resources and open for everyone interested to have the opportunity to learn. It will be a fundamental subject where students can put their knowledge into practice in real work. Therefore, the survey team conducted a market demand survey of especially students at the secondary school level to assess the possibility of further developing and opening a Bachelor of Arts program (Gender Studies and Development).
