Igualdade de gênero: uma análise dos documentos norteadores da educação.

This article aims to discuss gender equality from the guiding documents of education, also dealing with the historical overview of the different concepts that the term gender has received over the years and the practical effects of these inequalities. The relevance of the theme is linked to the transforming potential of formal education in parallel with the deliberative character that its pedagogical proposals are based on. This is a qualitative research, established in a descriptive literature. Among the findings, it was possible to observe that there is an androcentric posture used in official documents, as well as a neutrality that influences the decision-making of schools, also, we identified an interference caused by conservative currents in the formulation of public policies and the misuse of the verb "tolerate".
