Only one female scientist named in GCSE science courses
Original: Only one female scientist named in GCSEs, research finds
Research has found that only one female scientist is named across GCSE science specifications in England, with curricula overwhelmingly citing male figures. The finding has prompted criticism that school science presents a male-dominated picture of discovery and may discourage girls from pursuing scientific careers. Campaigners are calling on exam boards to broaden representation in course materials.
Why now: The findings renew debate about gender representation in the school curriculum.
