Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society,including economic participation and decision making,and when the different behaviours,aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favored.
Equality in education is an important issue,as gender equality guidelines improve education for both men and women. The goal of providing better education for women doesn't mean neglecting or suppressing men. By placing men and women on an equal level,the relatively increased valuing of women will also benefit men by informing them of the strength capabilities and contributions of members of opposite sex. It may also decrease the pressure may boys feel to conform traditional roles,behaviors and ways of thinking.
