Gender Discrimination and Education Practitioners. Reality, Perception, Possible Solutions

This study aims at determining the extent to which Romanian prospective or current education practitioners are informed about gender discrimination (GD) problems in order to infer whether they are prepared to promote gender equality (GE) within and through schools. Drawing on recent Romanian legal provisions, statistics and research, and relating these aspects to EU and international developments in the area being investigated, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted, leading us to the conclusion that educators need being educated about GD in order to be able to promote GE, which could be achieved by means of a pre or in-service course.
