I have questions for Ms Maniti and Ms O'Reilly about the male domination of the uptake in STEM subjects. Is the trend of male domination of teaching STEM subjects going further after qualification? In its opening statement, the ISSU stated there are fewer female students taking up STEM subjects in secondary schools. As for female teachers qualifying as STEM teachers, whether it be in mathematics, technology or engineering, are many of their peers saying they will teach mathematics, engineering, metalwork, woodwork or whatever?
