In this paper, I argue that technology could play revolutionary role to acquire gender equality in education by considering gender and space analysis which could provide open, flexible and liberating features of education spaces that seem to favour women. Hence, we can open doors for everyone by giving an equal opportunity to access knowledge by eliminating the distance barrier in development of education to gain gender equality in education. In this paper, I describe the role, impact and benefits of using technology in education. I describe, how technology could promote gender equality in education by facilitating the global social justice imperatives; how technology could bridge the gap between the gender and education goals. Previous Literature and my personal observations have been used to determine the ways these technologies can be used for gender equality program and its desirability on the basis of its segmentation and implementation in different contexts. The findings are consolidated into a framework for gender education equality. This framework may contribute to planning and implementing more inclusive gender education equality programs provides a framework that how teachers, librarians, youth workers, parents and international policies can use to empower next generation specially girls to succeed in today’s technology-rich world for their better tomorrow,thereby arguing why well integrated and usage of information technology globally provide an ideal environment/platform for 21st century achievement for gender equality in education.
