Abstract Gender inequality at school occurs when boys and girls are not given the same opportunities, treatment, or expectations in their learning environment. In many places, girls still face barriers such as limited access to education, early marriage, or pressure to prioritize household duties over studies. Even within classrooms, teachers and peers may unconsciously favor boys in discussions, leadership roles, or subjects like science and math, while girls are encouraged toward “softer” subjects. Textbooks and school activities can also reinforce gender stereotypes, shaping how children view themselves and others. This unequal treatment affects confidence, participation, and future career choices. Creating a truly equal school environment means promoting respect, providing equal opportunities, and encouraging both boys and girls to explore their full potential without bias or limitation. The objectives of the study are to study the views of pre service teachers towards gender inequality and identify the area to gender inequality. It was a survey research and quantitative in nature.
