A busca pela igualdade e direitos da mulher é um assunto atual, presente não só no universo acadêmico, mas junto à mídia e em toda a sociedade. Nesse sentido, este estudo teve por objetivo trabalhar a igualdade de gênero na educação básica. Para tanto, foram realizadas atividades interdisciplinares, que possibilitassem a construção do conhecimento sobre os conceitos relativos à igualdade de gênero e os direitos humanos, com a participação de 50 alunos do 1° ano do Ensino médio, sendo 26 homens e 24 mulheres, com idade média entre 15 e 19 anos. Após as atividades foi observado que 72% dos alunos concordam que a separação de gênero não deve ser praticada em nenhum tipo de ambiente, afirmando que a inserção de discussões sobre gênero na escola pode aumentar a conscientização e respeito à diversidade de valores, crenças e comportamentos. 100% dos alunos afirmaram que cor, raça e opção sexual são os principais motivos de rotulagem no ambiente escolar. Tais resultados expressam o conhecimento dos alunos sobre a necessidade de igualdade na sociedade, onde meninos e meninas afirmaram que a escola tem papel fundamental na conscientização de que a igualdade de gênero é a principal ferramenta para a construção de uma sociedade em que homens e mulheres possuam direitos, deveres e oportunidades iguais. Palavras-chave: Gênero.

Vietnamese government policy has been one of complete equality of opportunity in schools and in wider society, both as a commitment to social justice and as a way of enhancing the economy of the nation by facilitating and encouraging much greater inclusion of women in economic activity. One of the main aims of the work was to trial programmes of training for teachers and teacher education students about gender equality in education using the model of Socialisation, Externalisation, Combination and Internalisation (SECI), first developed in Japan, which integrates knowledge acquisition with social learning activities (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). The response to the programme of training using the SECI model was positive, suggesting that this approach may be an effective model for both Initial Teacher Education and Continuing Professional Development for High School Teachers in Vietnam.

Education is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a questionnaire survey among students from a Chinese senior high school, this study measured the self-reported knowledge, sources of information, learning situations, priorities, the impact of personal life and career planning with respect to the SDGs to understand their cognition, learning motivation and social readiness. The results show that students’ knowledge and information sources in relation to the SDGs are limited, and there is no significant difference between boys and girls in relation to their knowledge of the SDGs, the source of information, the learning level of the SDGs, impact of personal life on the SDGs and career planning related to the SDGs. It is also shown that students have a better understanding of the number of the SDGs and the countries to which the SDGs are addressed and students receive information about the SDGs via formal education and traditional media. Regarding the penetration of the SDGs in course subjects, Chinese and native culture, foreign language, biology and geography have included all the SDGs. Through an analysis of responses and popularity rates, gender equality, quality education, reduced inequalities, no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being are shown to be the students’ priorities with higher attention rates. Gender equality, quality education, clean water and sanitation are the top three goals in relation to which students consider that their personal life can have a greater impact. Students prefer to adopt the SDGs (decent work and economic growth, quality education, industry, innovation and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities) as their personal career choice in the future. Suggestions for improving the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) include comprehensive formal and non-formal education, publicity and curriculum integration to promote learning about the SDGs. A model of ESD in the school surveyed is presented for practical application. Based on this research, guidance and suggestions are provided to enhance students’ awareness, knowledge and competencies in relation to sustainability and to encourage student engagement in global sustainable development.
