Introduction
There is a lot in common between education and gender equality - both are
instrumental to the development of a society as also intrinsic to living in a
society and interacting with fellow beings. School is one of the places, which
shows gender issues. Many studies show different matters of discrimination,
both of boys and girls, and many amount of adjustment is still needed if equality
