The maritime industry is very important to Malaysia's economy because it handles more than 90% of the country's freight imports and exports. Even though it is important, the industry still does not have enough local seafarers and is mostly male-dominated. Women are still underrepresented in both maritime education and professional practice. Gender inequality is still a problem in the business, and cultural prejudices, workplace hurdles, and lack of institutional support make it even worse. This shows how important it is to work for gender equality in the sector. This study examines perspectives of gender equality in maritime education in Malaysia, concentrating on maritime educators at Akademi Laut Malaysia (ALAM), the only maritime education institution in Melaka. This research used a quantitative study design and a structured questionnaire as the main way to collect data. There were four parts to the survey: demographic profiles, views on gender equality, institutional policies and assistance, and problems that women and men face because of their gender. Because the target population was small, convenience sampling was used, and 30 valid responses were collected. The study adds to our understanding of how institutional practices, policies, and cultural norms affect gender inclusion in maritime education by looking at the views of teachers. The research gives governments, schools, and teachers ideas on how to make schools more gender-sensitive and make Malaysia's maritime sector more inclusive.
