I have a question for Ms Maniti related to Ms Leydon's statement. She made the point that in mixed or coeducational schools the number of girls involved in biology, chemistry and physics is below what it is in all-girl schools. Ms Maniti stated that many female students who attend coeducational schools are exposed to sexism and discrimination due to gender stereotypes and biases. Is it a problem in mixed schools that girls are suffering from sexism, which deters them from doing STEM subjects?
