Received Date: May 01, 2025 / Published Date: May 31, 2025
Abstract
Globally, higher education institutions face challenges in ensuring gender equality, particularly in creating inclusive teaching environments and equitable policies. Vietnam, with its rapidly evolving education system, also encounters issues in achieving gender equality, raising questions about the perspectives of key stakeholders on this important issue. This study investigates the views of students and lecturers on gender equality in Vietnamese higher education, focusing on teaching practices, institutional policies, and personal experiences. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured survey, and analyses were conducted using Percentage and Frequency, Mean Item Score (MIS), Standard Deviation (SD), and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results reveal that most respondents agreed that Vietnamese universities promote gender equality, although notable differences were observed based on respondent categories, gender, and age groups. Students highlighted inclusivity in teaching practices, while lecturers emphasized institutional measures. Female respondents perceived stronger efforts in equality promotion compared to males, particularly in academic opportunities. Respondents over 20 years of age expressed higher awareness and appreciation of gender equality initiatives than their younger counterparts. This study emphasizes the need to bridge gaps in perceptions by enhancing teaching practices, fostering awareness campaigns, and implementing robust policies to promote inclusivity. These findings are significant for policymakers, educators, and administrators seeking to strengthen gender equality initiatives in Vietnam’s higher education sector, contributing to global efforts toward inclusive and sustainable education systems.
