The research is based on the persistence of patriarchal cultural influences that shape students’ mindsets and behaviors, resulting in biases regarding the roles of men and women in social and educational contexts. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that PAI teachers play a strategic role in shaping students’ understanding of justice and balance between men and women in accordance with Islamic teachings. This role is manifested through advising, providing motivation, habituating equitable behavior in daily life, and offering moral and spiritual guidance to students. Furthermore, the study reveals that supporting factors include inclusive school policies and a conducive learning environment, while inhibiting factors consist of students’ emotional immaturity and biased perceptions of gender roles. Overall, the study concludes that PAI teachers serve as agents of social change who play a vital role in realizing gender-equitable and inclusive education based on Islamic perspectives ER -
