Abstract

This myth has not been abolished, nor has it been improved upon through the years, despite the fact that the outdated and deeply established modern belief that boys are superior to girls has been there for a very long time. Instead, the majority of its characteristics have not changed at all. The fundamental goal of this study is to investigate the various issues of gender discrimination in education in China and the UK, and to expose the inequities in education systems across the world by comparing and contrasting similarities and differences, so that more women can be respected and receive the resources and fair treatment that is rightfully theirs. According to the results of the research, gender bias is significantly more widespread in the educational system of China than it is in the educational system of the United Kingdom. This is mostly the result of notions that have been carried down from a patriarchal civilization that existed thousands of years ago. These ideas are extremely limited in scope and have a very restricted focus. In contrast, people in the United Kingdom have a more accepting mentality, and females are not subjected to antagonism or discrimination in the vast majority of households.
