In the real world, it is reflected that more boys than girls take computer related subjects at school and other learning facilities. This is proven right at abbeyfield school where in my AS ICT class there 10 boys to only 4 girls.

I wanted to show that this is not only the case in Northampton so I asked my friend who is also taking ICT to count the boy to girl ratio in his ICT class. This school is in Nottingham and there are 18 boys to only 7 girls in there GCSE ICT class.


After seeing these results from two different schools, from two completely different parts of the country (although these results aren’t that reliable because it is not a broad test across the whole country)
As jobs across the whole of the world are becoming more and more dependant on computers, this is a massive disadvantage to girls to be able to get a job in the future and therefore means that few girls will have jobs using this ever increasing technology.
