Abstract

Educational institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be among the most important institutional bearers of the process of socialization of children and youth, as well as the creation and transfer of socially valued knowledge and skills. Gender responsible education is especially important for the personal development and quality of life of every person, because it is a significant factor in democratization, economic development, prosperity and sustainability of any society. This article addresses the issue of gender discrimination Gender in the education system, which can be particularly dangerous because it directly supports stereotypes about inequality between girls and boys, men and women. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is necessary to create and implement proper laws to improve the overall education system, which will truly take care of the balance of existing gender hierarchies through changes in education and textbook policies.
