This "cross-culture" study deals entirely on awareness and attitudes among Kenyan andSwedish teachers in terms of gender equality. Parts of this study were conducted in Kenya,where I spent a month living and visited a school in a multi-million city. There, I conductedsemi-structured interviews with teachers and gathered material for my thesis. The purpose ofthis study is to see how teachers in Kenya relate to gender and then compare this withSwedish teachers. The study also includes a review of national policy documents for schoolregarding gender equality. In Kenya I interviewed four teachers in the secondary school whoteach various subjects.The conclusions drawn by the governing documents for school was that the teachers in bothcountries are encouraged to work with gender equality. My performance analysis isconstructed on the basis of Yvonne Hirdmans theory of dichotomy, hierarchy andreproduction process. Educators' awareness of gender issues was distinguished. Everyone hadopinions and told me about them. There approach to equality lead to some diversity amongthe teachers. They claim that equality brings many negative sides and are afraid that they willovershadow the good parts.
