Summary/Abstract: Recently, the focus of linguistic and social interest has been placed on gender sensitivity and equality. Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, are gender-sensitive languages, and their use is increasingly being enriched by the usage of the female gender that has only been implied in the male gender so far. Since education is an extremely important area where linguistic equality can be developed and nurtured from the very beginning of the educational process, textbooks for lower elementary class teaching are the source from which gender equality will either be adopted or completely neglected. In this paper, gender sensitivity and equality will be analyzed in the textbooks for lower elementary class teaching (from the first to the fifth grade of elementary school), which are used in elementary schools in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
