Why the Internacional Conference: The future of girls in STEAM?
Reducing the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education areas could help reduce occupational segregation while addressing skills shortages and increasing the employment and productivity of women.
Countries have developed many efforts to increase women’s participation in STEM fields, however, no nation has successfully completed the task.
It is the main reason of the conference, which is developed by the OECD
and the Ministry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports of Spain, to share experiences and ideas, such as those which are in the Alianza STEAM website, trying to focus the problem in order to get solutions.
It is time for a coordinated international approach to bring leading stakeholders together to drive more effective change considering international data, empirical research, and peer learning.
