 STEM Education for girls.

Science and technology are transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. From addressing global challenges like pandemics and climate change to driving innovation and sustainable development, the role of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has never been more crucial. The African continent holds a huge potential to transform its education sector and labour market through science, technology and innovation.

Although evidence shows that girls perform equally well as boys in math and science, their representation in STEM fields remains disproportionately low. Globally, women constitute only one-third of STEM graduates in higher education, a figure that drops to 25 percent or less in many African countries. This stark underrepresentation underscores systemic barriers that hinder girls’ participation and advancement in STEM disciplines.

At CEMREST we are putting the spotlight on  girls’ education in STEM where significant gender disparities persist in most Africa communities.
