Abstract

Within the educational context numerous examples of sexism and homophobia are present. We have to eradicate prejudices which teachers continue transmitting through the hidden curriculum. In order to complete the research conducted in the 80s and 90s and provide an analysis of reality in the second decade of the 21st Century, data collected from an anecdotal record and systematic observations are interpreted following a critical perspective. The process takes place during four academic years in different contexts in Castilla y León. The results show that stereotypes still remain entrenched despite efforts to show a climate of equality. Research in this line must continue if we want a quality education system in line with societal demands.
