Gender Inequality in Education in the Discourse of the Sustainable Development

Abstract

Gender equality allows providing women and men with the same opportunities, conditions, forms of treatment, and actions, without leaving aside the particularities that each of them has as such, to guarantee access to the rights that individuals of a society have as citizens. The following study targeted a population of students of the Olmedo High School in Portoviejo. This document aims to provide an accurate understanding of gender inequality in education. As part of its development, theories that articulated gender equality in the study centers were applied. In addition, opinion surveys were conducted, targeting students, both male and female, and teachers and personal interviews with the school authorities. The results call for the attribution of the crucial importance of the implementation of gender equality, serving as a source for future strategies in educational environments since it was perceived that there is no total.
