The objectives were to determine the career aspirations of male and female students, examine their perceptions regarding career choices, assess the relationship between gender and career aspirations, and identify the influence of gender stereotypes on academic achievement and career decisions. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population comprised students from ten public senior secondary schools, while a sample of 306 respondents was selected using sampling techniques. Data were collected using a structured close-ended questionnaire based on a four-point Likert scale.
