This isn't just a set back, this should be an urgent wake up call. 550 is the lowest number of Computing Science teachers recorded.

Teacher census supplementary statistics Statistics on school teacher characteristics

It's concerning to see that the number of CS teachers in Scotland has fallen further to 550, down from the already critically low figure of 578 reported last year.

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.

What @codeorg 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 💔

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

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

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

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.

ISACA: Majority of Companies Lack Women in Tech Programmes The majority IT professionals agree that there is a lack of gender diversity in tech, yet less than half of businesses have programs in place.

“More needs to be done to increase the representation of women in the IT & technology sector "

2/2 The pipeline starts in our classrooms & CS is yet to be a core subject, it is not delivered in every school, no equity of access & largest gender gap compared to traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade.

1/2 Great article by AND Digital about the gender gap. "The underrepresentation of women in tech is a missed opportunity for both the industry and society."

Fantastic work by @StGeorgesSchool & Jack Walker! 💻 Computing Science isn’t a core subject in Scotland & has had the largest gender gap among STEM for over a decade. Explore data from 1986 here: www.dresscode.org.uk/scotlands-co... #SaveComputingScience
