Women and Science Teaching (1965, No. 10)

That, in view of the present need for scientists and technologists of a high level and of the small number of women qualifying in scientific subjects, the NFAs should do all in their power:

  1. To encourage the teaching of science to girls from an early age, with the provision of adequate laboratory facilities;
  2. To make available to girls vocational guidance about scientific work;
  3. To induce industry and scientific organisations to consider women for appointment and promotion, on equal terms with men:
  4. To encourage professional associations and universities to sponsor refresher courses to enable married women to return to scientific work in later life.
