There is a number of success factors for gender equality work in preschools and schools that have been presented by Mia Heikkil\u00e4 in a report on sustainable gender equality work in Nordic schools and preschools \u2013 H\u00e5llbart j\u00e4mst\u00e4lldhetsarbete i f\u00f6rskolan och skolan i Norden.<\/span><\/p>\n Heikkil\u00e4\u2019s study shows that a crucial factor for the implementation of gender equality work in preschools and schools is attitude to and awareness of a specific knowledge on gender and gender equality that is needed for the process of development and change. Support from the school management is another necessary element of sustainable gender equality work. If the management does not clearly express its support for the development of work on gender and gender equality, then this work will not be sustainable and integrated. It is also very important to set common goals that are supported throughout all levels of the organization and to have an organization structure and resources for monitoring their implementation and follow-up. Moreover, Mia Heikkil\u00e4 points out the significance of the development climate, which characterizes the openness to develop opportunities in the field of gender and gender equality.<\/span><\/p>\n
