The graph reveals that early Computing (Information Technology) enrolments from 2001-2004 were around 7,000, however since, enrolments have dropped and tapered off to be around 5,000 enrolments.
we know that females are significantly underrepresented in the technology field.
In the graph below, you can see that female enrolments in Computing courses has dropped around 10,000 enrolments from 2002 to 2006 and has since remained relatively the same.
However, so far, researchers have demonstrated that STEM gender gap interventions are best served by designing educational environments that will engage children in STEM-relevant activities, from the very early years of school. Engaging children early is imperative to ensure underrepresented groups, such as females, do not disengage early
