Edith Cowan Uni VC encourages women, STEM subjects - STEVE CHAPMAN, Vice Chancellor Edith Cowan University

When my daughter Petie was in Uni not too long ago, she was one of only three females in an engineering class of ninety. Under normal circumstances, it would take generations to change that balance! But teachers and educators have been disrupting the imbalance with a big s.t.e.m. push, starting with students in very early classes. The disruption seemed to happen very quickly and (happily), change is upon us. There's a big female s.t.e.m. movement underway.

That said, there's still a glass ceiling to work around for both genders - but parents are increasingly onto it. They're reading s.t.e.m. books to their children from babies through to teens and loving them themselves.
