Math, advanced syllabus in highs school by gender, 2017
Mies NainenMen Women
Finnish girls have been top ranked in PISA and TIMMS
But girls don´t feel competent, and they don´tsee math, science or technology meaningful in their future. (PISA)
Only 1/3 of girls see their future in science ortechnology (Microsoft STEM research)
After high school on ¼ of best performersare girls. (FINEEC)
Technology is not meaningful for girls –and thus they don´t choose it.
20% in FinnishTech Industry
Our education system can provide good competence in science for both boys and girls.
We fail to show girls the opportunities it would offer.
