The article outlines ambiguous role of information technologies in today education landscape within gender aspect. In particular, correlations between gender disparity in STEM and gender biases towards digital technology are analyzed, including based on statistical data of various countries, which allow revealing that among STEM disciplines the most evident gap exists in Computer Sciences. Using content analysis of literature, it was also found that women perceive themselves as less competent than men in terms of mastering technology, while this phenomenon has its primary roots in teachers’ bias concerning gender-mediated abilities for information technology. Bearing in mind the vicious circle of gender biases towards information technology both in teachers and students at every level of educational system, it is suggested to address the experience of corporate sector, that accumulated more experiences and best practices in the application of digital technologies for enhancing DEI, some of which, with specifying their potential application in education, are described in the paper.
