Bridging the Skills and Gender Gap in Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

admin — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:03:11 +0000

The number of women in science and engineering in Africa is below 20%, even though women make up over 50% of the population and form the majority of the work force in most countries. This percentage reduces further in leadership positions and graduate levels of education. The presence of women in science and technology careers is critical in the current innovative and disruptive-endeared market. Opening up the economy to this mostly unconsidered sector of the market would ensure participation towards tackling the challenges of Africa such as unemployment, health and poverty. Women should be encouraged to pursue science-oriented disciplines, as partners in promoting development in our comment in through technology.

AWSE aims to create a critical mass of female scientists and engineers in Africa through empowerment programs.
AWSE names and celebrates women in STEM making a difference in Africa.
AWSE shines a spotlight on opportunities available for anyone interested in joining the STEM field, for the development of Africa.
AWSE is a ladder of growth for women in STEM in Africa, to engage, to network, to learn and to grow together, as we improve lives on our continent.

Closing the Gender Gap in STEM Education in Africa

admin — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:56:32 +0000

Increasingly in Africa, many young girls and women show great interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education as evidenced by the eminent and young female scientists celebrated across the continent. Yet, the under-representation of women in STEM fields persists, globally and across the continent.

Why are women under-represented in STEM education?

This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors such as the entrenched cultural perception that STEM is a male domain and that boys and men are just ‘better’ at math and science, limited early intervention to get girls and young women excited about STEM, domestic pressures on girls, early marriage and child pregnancy, and lack of STEM female role models.

Two years ago, the Scholars Program launched a research fund to enable Scholars to explore topics that they were interested in and that applied to the program. Unsurprisingly, two teams of researchers chose to explore focus on women in STEM to better understand the factors deepening such inequality. Interestingly, both teams’ findings were similar:

Girls and boys had the same level of interest in STEM at the early stages of their education.
Girls and women are particularly interested in STEM when they understand its potential applications, especially when they see how STEM can help others.

Many girls self-select out of STEM education because:

The higher in their education they go, the less they feel like they ‘belong’.
They feel the need to select a career path that can be combined with marriage and family responsibilities.

What can be done to increase women’s participation in STEM education?

Researchers posited that to reduce the gender gap in STEM education, there should be more early and targeted STEM interventions to demystify STEM and ignite interest in girls, scholarships should be targeted at girls and women to pursue STEM programs, an introduction of varied academic opportunities including online education and nano courses (short courses) to increase accessibility to young women balancing many demands, and increase training for teachers on gender-sensitive instruction and how to engage girls in STEM.

Mastercard Foundation’s contribution to increasing African women’s participation in STEM education?

The Foundation collaborates with local partners to design programs that support increased participation of African girls and women in STEM education. Some of these programs and partnerships include:

Leaders in Teaching – This program focuses on equipping Science and Math teachers, in Ghana and Rwanda, with the skills to deliver high-quality education with a strong focus on girls. For example, the Foundation partners with African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), to equip secondary school teachers with gender-responsive teaching tools for math and science, and support public engagement and outreach activities for (STEM) education, particularly for young women.
Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning in ICT – In Rwanda, the Centre hosts STEM days and robotic competitions for secondary school students with the focus to increase the participation of young girls.
Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program – The Scholar’s Program has an intentional focus on girls and young women with 72% of all Scholars being female. To implement the Scholar’s Program, the Foundation partners with gender transformative organizations such as FAWE to extend the gender-responsive pedagogy to all schools hosting Scholars, as well as Camfed, BRAC, and Equity Group Foundation who deliver the secondary education component of the Scholars Program. Over the next few years, the Scholars Program will add 15,000 scholarships at the university level, of which 70% are earmarked for young women.

Progress is not limited to these targeted programs. While there are effective interventions being implemented, there is still more work to be done to increase partnerships with local and pan-African organizations, like FAWE, to deepen the Foundation’s effort. Other notable programs being implemented by the Foundation, such as the eLearning initiative in partnership with African universities, are helping close the gender gap in STEM education for women, rural youth, refugees and displaced young people, and young people with disabilities.

There is still a gross underrepresentation of women in the STEM fields in Sub-Saharan Africa.

admin — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:53:55 +0000

Across Africa, there is a growing push to prioritize investment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, especially for girls who remain underrepresented in the field. The share of females graduating from tertiary education engineering fields is below 30% for many Sub-Saharan African countries.

Ms. Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly, World Bank’s Country Director for Southern Africa, highlighted this urgency in her Opinion piece, Let’s accelerate the women in STEM agenda today; tomorrow will be too late. She noted that despite the progress made, the representation of women in STEM subjects in the region was still critically low.

“There is still a gross underrepresentation of women in the STEM fields in Sub-Saharan Africa. The share of females graduating from tertiary education engineering fields is below 30% for many Sub-Saharan African countries. Consequently, scientific work and technological innovation are missing women’s invaluable perspectives and critical contributions,” she said.

In a rapidly growing global digital economy, Ms. Marie-Nelly emphasised: “It is imperative that deliberate policies are put in place to ensure all students have equal opportunities to acquire STEM-related competencies.”

According to UNESCO, gender disparity, social norms, and institutional cultures, prevent many girls from pursuing careers in STEM. A 2024 UNESCO report ‘Women’s participation in higher education in Southern Africa: An exploration of STEM, leadership and enrolment in Institutions in Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, reveals a stark gender disparity in STEM fields across the nine Southern African countries.

The report attributes this to institutional and societal barriers, as well as gaps in policy. In institutions of higher learning, the report reveals a distinct shortage of female presence in STEMS. It recommends campaigns to boost enrollment of girls in STEM courses and offering women and girls financial support to pursue these fields.

Indeed, increasing girls’ representation in STEM in Africa will require targeted awareness creation, education initiatives, and adequetly equipping those pursuingcareers in science, technology and innovation.

Lydia Moyo’s example

A leasing example is Tanzanian entrepreneur Lydia Charles Moyo whose NGO, Her Initiative, promotes girl’s empowerment through technology.

Founded in 2019, the young women-led organisation provides education and skills for entrepreneurship and employment. It leverages technology to bridge the gender gap in Tanzania’s digital landscape.

Ms. Moyo’s initiative has not only shaped the response to underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM but has also contributed significantly to advancing digital inclusion and developing of strategies that connect technology and gender equality in Tanzania.

Her work as inspired national and global recognition. In April 2024 she was one of the six recipients of the Global Citizen Prize 2024, for fostering economic empowerment for girls and young women.

In June 2024, Ms. Moyo won the 2023-2024 KBF Africa Prize (by King Baudouin Foundation), in recognition of Her Initiative’s work to unlock women’s economic potential, tackle the youth unemployment crisis and accelerate economic and social development in sub-Saharan Africa.

Case for Ghana

In Ghana, Larisa Akrofie, is using her platform, Lever in Heels, to amplify the voices of women in STEM.

Ms. Akrofie, however, says more investment in education, technical training, mentorship and scholarships will be key in overcoming the financial barriers that often limit African women’s participation in STEM.

“To increase women’s participation, we need quality education, vocational and technical training programs, mentorship and networking opportunities, as well as funding to overcome financial barriers.” said Ms. Akrofie at an Education and Technology forum organized by MEST Africa, a Pan-African training program, seed fund and incubator for tech entrepreneurs.

In order to have a result that is more in keeping with the final result, the graphic designers, designers or typographers report the Lorem ipsum text in respect of two fundamental aspects, namely readability and editorial requirements.

The choice of font and font size with which Lorem ipsum is reproduced answers to specific needs that go beyond the simple and simple filling of spaces dedicated to accepting real texts and allowing to have hands an advertising/publishing product, both web and paper, true to reality.

Its nonsense allows the eye to focus only on the graphic layout objectively evaluating the stylistic choices of a project, so it is installed on many graphic programs on many software platforms of personal publishing and content management system.

What are the origins of Lorem Ipsum?

Contrary to what one might think, the Lorem ipsum text, despite being meaningless, has noble origins.

Objectively composed of unrelated words, Lorem ipsum owes its existence to Marco Tullio Cicerone and to some steps of his De finibus bonorum et malorum (The highest good and the highest evil) written in 45 BC , a classic of Latin literature dating back more than 2000 years ago.

The discovery was made by Richard McClintock , a professor of Latin at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, who faced the impetuous recurrence of the dark word consectetur in the text Lorem ipsum researched its origins to identify them in sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of the aforementioned Cicero’s philosophical work.

The words taken from one of the dialogues contained in the De finibus are therefore the pieces of the most famous nonsensical text in the world.

A discovery that has given greater importance to the Lorem ipsum which has remained on the crest of the wave since 500, that is when, according to Professor Richard McClintock, its use spread among the printers of the time.
