In this study, I analyze the actual condition of gender equality education in schools and explore the policy agenda and improvement measures to realize gender equality. By establishing criteria, to analyze the actual condition I review the contents of textbooks and school management plan. Analysis results of textbook contents suggest categorization, including a case to treat both genders equally, a case to treat them inequally, a case to give female active roles, and a case to expect passive roles of female. Analysis results of the school management plan show different cases: a case to promote gender equality education as a core of school management, a case to promote it as a division of work within a single department, a case to operate it by connecting to career counseling, a case to substitute it for personality education, and a case not to contain it at all in the school management plan.
Based on an analysis on the actual condition of gender equality education in schools, I suggest measures to realize gender equality, which can be categorized by three dimensions. First, I set nationwide measures of macro approach. Second, I formulate and suggest strategies to change behaviors of society members. Third, at the concrete level, I suggest measures and agenda to improve the gender equality education in schools.
