 The educational system is an important socializing agent. It is often regarded as solution to the social problems that society suffers. Nevertheless, at the same time the school setting is where trans people suffer a high discrimination, even knowing the implications that this entails in the mental health of these people. Therefore, with the intention of moving away from the clinical view of the trans reality, this updated systematic review focuses on trans minors within the educational system. ProQuest, Scopus and Web of Science databases were used to research the literature, and 39 articles were selected. Results indicate that in order to overcome the bad school climate perceived by trans students, laws, educational policies and school regulations that address this reality are necessary. A lack of teacher training is highlighted despite the fact that the attitude of teachers towards trans students can make a difference in their lives. Consequently, teachers should be provided with the tools to deal with different trans realities they encounter in their classrooms.
