Abstract

Women are increasingly active to take on roles in the public sphere and continue to develop their potential. This study investigates the impact of educational attainment on equality, with the aim of understanding whether educational attainment acts as a catalyst for change, so that this study tries to verify existing hypotheses. This study was conducted on students from Sulawesi, Indonesia who chose to continue their education on the island of Java, Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed through google forms and a total of 99 students from Sulawesi, Indonesia returned the form; 50 of them were women with a high school education level. Using descriptive statistics and regression analysis, the findings strengthen the argument that achieving equality in education is a powerful tool to eliminate gender stereotypes. This study contributes to understanding the role of education in combating gender stereotypes and promoting socio-cultural changes related to gender equality. In addition, this study’s findings provide necessary empirical evidence for policymakers to design and implement more effective policies for combating gender stereotypes through education. This could influence the planning and resource allocation in the education system. Copyright © 2025 GMP Press and Printing.
