Primary school teachers gender education: a pending question of the educational system

Abstract

Through the life story of a future student of Primary Education we discovered the lack of training in gender that exists in the Degree in Primary Education. It is key to create a school that respects and promotes equal opportunities among girls and boys, and that teachers are well trained in gender material. It is essential to emphasize that competences related to gender equality are included in the competences of future teachers in Primary Education, taking into account the time of adaptation of many universities to the European framework. This leads us to reflect and integrate these contents into future curricula within European teaching frameworks.
