Declaration of the world's human rights states that education is everyone's right (World Bank 1981). Everyone should have equal opportunity to acquire education, regardless of socioeconomic status and the state of gender. But in reality in the field of education, the gender gap is still a phenomenon that needs serious attention. Women tend to earn less educational opportunities than men and higher levels of education is widening the gap between women and men in access to education. While the gender balance is starting to approach the stability in developed countries, this gender difference is still a particular problem in countries that are developing. Although the Indonesian state has been following international conferences such as: Copenhagen which highlights social development, Cairo on population, Beijing and New York on women, which the Indonesian delegation stated that the main effect of gender is a process that can be grabbed and equality and gender justice, but in reality the application of gender equality is not easily applied in Indonesia because of socio-cultural factors. Effects of gender disparities in developing countries in the near future will be reduced in line with the educational opportunities more evenly between men and women.
