An authority as a promoter of equality in education, training and early childhood education and care

Public authorities and education and training providers must ensure that everyone has the same opportunities for education and professional development. Care must also be taken to ensure that teaching, research and teaching material support the purpose of the Act on Equality between Women and Men.

For their part, early childhood education and care providers must ensure that everyone has the same access to early childhood education, and that such education supports the purpose of the Act on Equality between Women and Men.

Public authorities, providers of education, training, early childhood education and care and other bodies providing education or training must also ensure that systematic and planned work to promote gender equality is carried out in schools, educational institutions and early childhood education and care establishments under their control, as required by the Act on Equality between Women and Men.

Equality is always promoted taking into account the age and development of the children being taught.
