Abstract

Gender equality is a necessary condition for social justice and it is an important topic in the field of contemporary social sciences. Childhood is a critical period for shaping gender awareness. This article focuses on gender equality in children’s education and compares the gender equality in children’s education policies and classrooms in Norway and China. This study uses a quantitative research method to collect information on gender equality in Chinese children’s education through questionnaires, and compares with the situation in Norway by combining education policies. Both countries have policies on providing gender equality programs dedicated to reducing discrimination and bullying. The difference is that China pays more attention to the balance of male and female teachers, while Norway has higher achievements in gender equality in pedagogy and sex education. In terms of classroom conditions, teachers in both countries encourage the communication and interaction between male and female students in cooperative learning, but when faced with gender prejudice in school education, teachers from Norway pay more attention to reducing gender gaps compared with Chinese teachers.
