VI. Addressing gender stereotyping 25. Discrimination faced by girls and women in education is both ideological and structural. The ideological dimension is addressed in articles 5 and 10 (c) of the Convention; States parties are to modify accepted social and cultural patterns of conduct of men and women which are based on stereotyped roles for women and men, which is of paramount significance in ensuring that women and girls can enjoy their rights to, within and through education, and essential, as these discriminatory practices not only are exercised at the individual level but also are codified in law, policy and programmes and are therefore perpetuated and enforced by the State. 26. In article 5 (a), the structural dimension of discrimination is described as being rooted in prejudices and customary and all other practices which are based on the idea of the inferiority or the superiority of either of the sexes or on stereotyped roles for men and women. States parties are to adopt measures towards a real transformation of opportunities, institutions and systems so that they are no longer grounded in historically determined male paradigms of power and life patterns. The education system is an example of an area for transformation that, once achieved, can accelerate positive change in other areas. 27. In line with articles 5 and 10 (c) of the Convention, the Committee recommends that States parties strengthen efforts and take proactive measures to eliminate gender stereotyping in education that perpetuates direct and indirect discrimination against girls and women by: 6/23 17-19774
