Abstract

With women ascending to leadership positions in traditionally male-dominated fields, it's imperative to study the impact of gender on leadership styles and vocational college management. Gender-based challenges persist in education, affecting learners, educators, and the system at large. This study aims to identify and address gender-specific barriers in educational institutions, revealing biases and inequalities that hinder inclusive learning environments. Despite China's advancements, gender disparities still exist in professional leadership. This research contributes to our understanding of gender and leadership in vocational education, offering fresh perspectives that can guide educational policies and leadership practices. Using a descriptive methodology and positivist approach, the study collected data via questionnaire.
