Sexism in teacher education can cause profound harm, with consequences that ripple from trainees to the pupils they later teach. Therefore, eradicating it from such programs is fundamental to establishing a truly inclusive and equitable learning environment. This study systematically explores multiple effective strategies designed to help pre-service and in-service teachers transform gender-biased perceptions, behavioral patterns, and teaching practices, thereby achieving educational equity.
