Women and STEM (2019)
My NFA supports STEM education and encourage girls to prefer STEM fields at their education.
Jackie K. Weatherspoon was the keynote speaker. UWE President Anne Negre and GWI member Shailo Mistry made excellent presentations. Alex Blakemore from Britain presented the academic side of STEM and gave statistics.
It was an informative session with highlights from the world.
We can write a statement on STEM education.Rate of progress varies in different parts of the world. But we need to take a collaborative action. The underlying low number in girls’ choice of STEM is gender inequalities they face. We need to provide gender equality first.
