In this way, the development of this monograph show that in Ecuador and Latinoamerica, the implementation of gender in the schools from 70s until the present was pushed through different agreements that has sense with the equal rights and respect to individual differences. Also, through various policies, plans, agreements, laws, codes, it has been agreed in education to move towards inclusion and gender equality, but there is a lack of strategies to help with the gender and learning gaps that still persist. Finally, when analyzing several researches carried out by different authors in Latin America, the need to promote equality, to define transversal approaches and to put into practice the gender perspective in education is highlighted; but it is also perceived that some teachers use sexist and non-inclusive language, stereotypes are transmitted and there are disputes about gender and feminism.
