Summary:

"This book is a must-read for teachers, trainers and scholars alike, and for everyone looking for honest information on pitfalls and potentiality when aiming for gender equality in schools." —Dr. Heidi Siller, Medical University of Innsbruck, Switzerland This book explores gender stereotyping and gender inequalities in secondary education in England, Hungary and Italy. The authors highlight the importance of addressing student and teacher attitudes if long-term changes in mindset are desired, as well as the underlying stereotypes that persist and linger in these educational contexts. Promoting a whole-school culture change approach, this book explores views of gender stereotypes from teachers and students concerning subject and career choices, as well as collaborative work with teachers, experts and NGOs in implementing and evaluating gender equality charters. Drawing on extensive research, this book employs an intersectional and cross-country approach: while the authors acknowledge the challenges and opportunities of researching gender equality frameworks across different countries, ultimately these link to the UN Sustainable Development goal of gender equality. Maria Tsouroufli is a Professor of Education at Brunel University London, UK. Her research explores the interface of gender with professional identities and policy implementation in secondary, higher and medical education in European countries. Dorottya Rédai is an independent scholar in gender and education. She has worked as a researcher and trainer at various international projects in gender and education at the Central European University and ELTE University, Hungary. She also works as an activist, a trainer and education specialist in Hungarian NGOs working with issues of gender and sexualities. .
