Far more boys than girls expect to have a career in engineering or computing Source : Figure 4.11 Percentage of all students who expect a career in engineering or computing
22
Parents are more likely to expect their sons, rather than their daughters, to enter a STEM career – even when boys and girls perform equally well in school Source : Figure 5.1 Gender gap among boys and girls with similar results in mathematics, reading and science performance STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Percentage of students whose parents expect that they will work in STEM occupations
