The theoretical part deals with the basic issue, which caused and still causes gender stereotypes. The practical section analyses results of my survey that was dedicated to the present situation of gender sensitive education in subjects of ICT. The survey paid attention to the attitude of the male and female students as much as the view of the male and female teachers on the gender issues. Further, there is a gender analyse of two of the textbooks used for the second grade of primary education.
