dc.description.abstractThe discourse on gender equality has increasingly gained traction among education policymakers over the years. This study examined effective strategies for promoting gender equality among basic school pupils in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo state, Nigeria. Descriptive design was employed in this study. The study population consisted of all basic schools in rural communities in Ibadan, Oyo State. A sample of 150 teachers was selected for this study, using probability random sampling techniques. Data gathered in the survey were analysed using percentages, mean, and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The findings revealed a significantly poor perception of gender inequity at the basic school level, with teachers observing high incidences of unequal treatment between boys and girls. Consequently, the study outlined strategies to address these issues, including emphasising education on gender equality, enforcing protective laws, ensuring equal access to leadership roles, and promoting gender-equitable school policies and activities.
