Thirdly, based on the result of recurrence analysis on conservative sexual attitude, it is presented that as the person is female student, as gender equality consciousness in office is higher, gender equality consciousness of adolescents in socio-cultural life is lower and as he/she has less experience in relationship with opposite sex, the conservative attitude was higher.
After analyzing gender equality consciousness, it is shown that gender equality consciousness by gender has large difference and development and application of program to grow consciousness of males students who have comparatively low gender equality consciousness compared to female students is needed. And also, to cultivate gender equality consciousness of students, general transformation of school, family and regional society is necessary and development of several educational program for this is needed. And also, to arouse sympathy that pursuing gender equality consciousness is necessary for balance and healthiness of society, family, school and society need to work together.
And also, problems in gender equality consciousness should be handled in human right level and for this matter, recognizing the concept and importance of gender equality consciousness and advertising cleaning biased fixed idea on sexuality and specially versatile government level efforts are necessary. Sexuality of human simply is not only individual problem but also legal, social, moral problems in human relations so that in future sexual education, education on gender equality consciousness and sexual attitude or sexual value emphasizing human relations by widening existing sexual education only gave basic ideas of human body and the second sexual character and deeper consideration on development of sexual education program will be necessary.
