In terms of the ASTI, Ms Leydon gave some very interesting statistics. She said that 94% of boys' schools provide biology, chemistry and physics but only 82% of girls' schools do. Is that because, traditionally, girls' schools did not offer these subjects? Why has that not caught up yet, in Ms Leydon's opinion?
