Učiteľské povolanie. Aspekty rodovej rovnosti v škole.

This publication contains the findings of analytical study carried out as part of the project ruzovyamodrysvet.sk (pinkandblueworld.sk).To a degree, the gender bias in education in Slovakia stems from general attitudes of teachers. It is therefore important to identify the extent of their gender sensitivity or of presence of gender stereotypes in their perception, and hence also in their profession in general. These findings could help to reveal where and how it is possible to intervene in order to foster gender equality and dismantle gender injustices in the educational sector. The gender dimension of education in Slovakia and related gender inequalities are highly visible in high feminization of the sector and low remuneration of the teaching profession which is far below the national income average.
