South Africa has been concerned about gender rights inequalities in education for many years. Gender disparity still seemed to prevail in hidden ways. We considered the changes in Bill of Rights and the behaviour of educators towards gender over the last 25 years. Drawing from current studies, it is a clear that educators subject learners towards gender inequalities and are unaware of such behavior. Therefore, we argue that, whilst there have been changes in the education arena, gender equality remains unrealized. We used qualitative methods to collect data from 20 teachers (n=20) from Madibeng District. The findings suggest that feminism; masculinity; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people (LGBT); and Gender Based Violence (GBV) remain prevalent in schools despite the rights enforced by the Constitution Act 108 of 1996. We concluded that gender rights require a change in the social structure as it affects in their cultural practice.
