Read the passage and choose the correct answers.

It's important to educate people about gender equality when it comes to choosing jobs. Unfortunately, there are still professions that are seen as more suitable for men or women, based on outdated stereotypes. For example, people might think that men are more suited to jobs as firefighters, officers or cosmonauts, while women might be told that they are not mentally or physically skilful enough for these professions.

It's important to start teaching children about gender equality from a young age, starting in kindergarten. This can help to promote a culture of equality and respect for all genders, and can create opportunities for everyone to pursue their chosen career. Children need to learn that mental and physical ability is not determined by gender and that everyone should have equal opportunities to follow their dreams.

We also need to challenge discrimination against people who are uneducated or have less experience in certain professions. It's important to create equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background. And we need to support victims of harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

In conclusion, education is a powerful tool that can help to promote gender equality. By promoting gender equality, we can create a more diverse and inclusive society, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
