To measuring the three-domain of gender equity in education (1) equity of access, (2) equity of opportunity in the learning process, and (3) equity of opportunity in educational achievement. We used questionnaires and distributed them to 111 students which are categorized into two genders; 59 female students, and 52 male students. Subsequently, depth interviews were carried out with 10 male students who were randomly chosen to investigate why male students did not accept fully gender equity in education. The independent t-test analysis was utilized to pointed out empirical facts. There was a significant difference in perception between female students and male students of gender equity in education. Gender equity have been coveted by many communities of society including the government. It is supposed to include gender equity material in the curriculum so that stakeholders and all school elements have awareness and are proactive in promoting gender equity in education.
