Abstract: Gender equality in education is a critical issue that plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development by providing equal learning opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender. The aim of this study was to examine the importance of gender equality in education through a survey administered to a sample of 70 students. The research gap lies in the limited studies addressing the effectiveness of legal policies and the cultural and social challenges that impact gender equality in education in the UAE. The findings indicate that the UAE has made considerable progress in promoting gender equality in education, with an average score of 3.37, reflecting a moderate level of achievement. However, the results also revealed that legal reforms aimed at promoting gender equality still require improvement, as the statement regarding legal policies received the lowest score (2.90). The main challenges identified were cultural attitudes towards girls' education, with proposed solutions focusing on expanding educational initiatives in remote areas. Additionally, significant gender differences in education were observed, highlighting the need for further efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities.
