The guarantee of minors’ right to education is an important part in achieving national development and human rights protection. Gender equality is a basic national education policy that has always been implemented in China. During the three decades from the 1990s to the present，in the protection of minors’ right to education，gender equity in education has been consolidated. Gender equality in educational opportunities for minors has been achieved，and a gender-equal educational environment and sex/gender education system have been initially developed，but challenges still exists. There is a need to consolidate the achievements made in the protection of minors’ right to education from a gender perspective by accelerating support for the development of preschool education，improving the gender-equitable educational environment，and promoting the implementation of sex and gender education.
