Abstract

This article addresses some transformations currently taking place in Chilean educational schools within the framework of the feminist student movement ́s demands for a non-sexist education perspective in institutional educational projects. Particularly, this work analyzes tensions that have been experienced in two main areas in which reproduction of sexual discrimination and gender inequality logics usually take place in educational settings; such as curriculum and school social interactions. The text addresses these issues from the concrete educational experiences in which the authors have been involved, as well as from the meanings that educational actors give to their experiences related to these problems.
