Fantastic to see the Women in Computing event at St George's School, Edinburgh run again & going from strength to strength! CS has the largest gender gap compared to other traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade. Brilliant to see ScotGov Education being part of the event.

“More needs to be done to increase the representation of women in the IT & technology sector " Tech talent pipeline starts in our classrooms & CS in Scotland has the largest gender gap in STEM subjects & has for > decade! #SaveComputingScience

"AI is now the fastest-growing skill among employees, job seekers, and students in the UK and globally" The tech talent pipeline starts in our classrooms & CS is yet to be a core subject, has worst uptake compared to other STEM subjects, largest gender gap & least teachers.

It's really great to see this. Well done. Yet we cannot forget that CS at schools compared to traditional STEM subjects has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train, lowest num in ITE & not yet core subject. #SaveComputingScience

Fantastic news! Every high school will offer CS in Michigan by 2027-2028. CS in Scotland is yet to be a core subject with equity of access. Compared to other traditional STEM subjects, it has the largest gender gap, worst uptake & least amount of teachers #SaveComputingScience

CS in Scotland has the biggest gender gap in STEM for over a decade! Fantastic to see initiatives like Next Tech Girls offering amazing work experience. Be great to see more Scottish tech companies get involved and create more opportunities for pupils in Scotland.

Women make up only 35% of STEM graduates worldwide. UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 encourages more women and girls to get involved in science education. On #WomenInScience Day, let's amplify their voices! unesco.org/en/days/women-…

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. A reminder that CS at school level in Scotland has the largest gender gap compared to other traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade. Let's work together to #CloseTheGenderGap #WomenInScience

What Code.org said!! In Scotland CS is not yet a core subject. Compared with traditional STEM subjects CS has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train as a teacher 💔 #SaveComputingScience

Happy International Women's Day! A great summary below of some of the challenges around the gender gap in Computing Science at school level in Scotland. #ClosingTheGenderGap #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #SaveComputingScience

“If you intersect the different aspects—the fall in recruitment, the demographic time bomb, the fact that a lot of departments have one computing science teacher, which makes them very vulnerable, and so on—I think that it is fair to say that we are in difficulty.”

Wishing all the pupils sitting the Computing Science exam today, the best of luck! #ChooseComputingScience

Transport barriers often create a disadvantage for small departments like Computing Science, as they prevent pupils from attending events & accessing enriching experiences that can cause lasting ripples for those pupils who are fortunate enough to attend. gofundme.com/f/get-the-bubb…
