The Collegium Gender Perspectives in Education
The gaze on gender and education.

Education is interpreted in a broad sense and covers both formal and informal aspects, including preschool, school-age educare, primary and secondary education, adult education, higher education, association life and youth groups. The collegium focuses on current national and international educational research and its development. The collegium is open to everyone.
