Show Notes

New figures show that there is a sizeable gender gap in the leaving cert subject choice, with boys more likely than girls to be studying Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and other STEM subjects. Why is this so? Pat discusses this further with Stella O’Malley, Psychotherapist and Author and Brendan Gildea, Maths teacher and Author.
