The ratio of boys to girls

[Fifteen]

In ICT classes..I was the only girl out of the 11 people in my GCSE ICT group, (and 1 of 2 girls in my GCSE Systems & Contol group, which I can understand)
and now in college i'm 1 of 2 girls and they're 10 guys.

I don't understand why ICT is male dominated

Anyone else experienced this?

Post your thoughts.

Theres not any girls in my ict class, around 10 guys (gcse), and i dont know of any girls doing it for a level either.

Suppose it's a general stereotype. You'll find more females in classes like health, social and hairdressing, yet more males in ICT and construction.

In A level ict we have 4 Females, 5 males

Its like forums really, more lads than girls, I can't really see a stereo type really as professions to do with ICT are mixed

More girls than boys in my ICT group but then again you don't choose to do it... You get picked to do it as an extra-curricular thingy

In my psychology class there are 3 boys and 7 girls :P, and even last year there was only 6 boys and 10 girls, so theres always been a low ratio of boys to girls in psychology class, which is quite funny at times, cause were really insane and weird in those lesson :)

[Shrlurp]

Computer based subjects like most science-y subjects is male dominated, girls just tend to be more interested in humanitys based stuff "/
Ict usually isnt so bad, but when you get in to stuff like computer science the lack of girls really becomes evident. My course for example has 6 girls in it, yet there are over 200 people on it :p

Subjects like sociology and psychology for example often have the oppersite ratio, with tons of girls and 1 or 2 guys.
