- Abstract
This paper aims to review the issue of gender equality in contemporary China’s K-12 education. This paper targets students in K-12 education to study the causes and specific manifestations of gender inequality in the current education system. It is found in this paper that gender inequality in education has always existed, although people may not be aware of it. The long-standing stereotypes of gender in education, along with the neglect and misguidance of LGBT students can demonstrate this. In addition, there are a series of profound and complex reasons underlying the phenomenon of gender inequality in education, which include the impact of school education and family education underlying the influence of society and its culture. The contribution of this paper is to inspire future research to pay more attention to gender equality in K12 education in contemporary China, thereby reducing the gender gap in the future.
