To fulfill the goals and objectives of this research, as well as to address the research questions of the study, a mixed methodological approach (mixed) was employed. Gender mainstreaming in education field means more than simply achieving equal numbers of women and men, girls and boys in the education system. It also includes policy changes and changes in institutions in order to support gender equality. In this way, gender mainstreaming will bring new dimensions to the education system which, very likely, will require changes in the philosophy of educational programs, management style and operational strategies at the local level.
