This study investigates the language of feminism and its impact on teaching and learning in senior secondary schools within Egor Local Government Area, Nigeria. Grounded in feminist pedagogy, the research explores how feminist discourse influences teaching practices, student engagement, and overall educational outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires distributed to 70 students and 30 teachers across five secondary schools. The findings reveal a significant awareness and appreciation of feminist language among both students and teachers, with many recognizing its importance in promoting gender equality and enhancing student engagement. However, challenges such as institutional resistance and a lack of resources were identified as barriers to effective integration. The study concludes that feminist-informed education has the potential to empower students and foster inclusive learning environments, and it offers recommendations for enhancing the integration of feminist perspectives within educational curricula.
