Abstract(s)
This text stresses that gender prejudices and stereotypes influence values, expectations, behaviours and options. In the course of education and training processes, gender stereotypes influence success at school (to the detriment of boys), vocational choices (to the detriment of girls) and investments in the initial educational qualifications (to the detriment of girls) . These inequalities have a negative impact on the preparation of young people for an active and balanced participation in all areas of democratic life, undermining educational quality and success.
It is therefore up to the school to play a central and intervening role in the increase of goals, strategies and actions that promote acquisition of skills for a personal, social and professional life of girls and boys, or to make it short, for the full exercise of citizenship in all spheres of life.
