Abstract

Stereotypes and prejudices are an integral part of our lives. Stereotypes are formed based on gender, age, ethnic differences, race, abilities, or learning difficulties and as such, greatly complicate communication between people. Therefore, through the educational process, different actions should be taken to overcome them. Our research focuses on stereotypes and prejudices within the educational system and the possibilities for overcoming them. The purpose of our research is to study the attitudes and opinions of students regarding different stereotypes and prejudices in our society (ethnic communities, gender, profession, religious buildings, etc.) and worldwide (racial division), as well as the role of school and family in promoting diversity and overcoming stereotypes and prejudices. The sample consists of 194 students of different ages 10-14 years in primary education. In the data processing we used the standard statistical package SPSS.
