Question 17251 — gender equality and parity

Summary

Ms. Céline Calvez questions the Minister of National Education and Youth on the issue of promoting gender equality in student guidance. On May 31, 2018, the MP and the MP Stéphane Viry submitted a report on the place of women in the scientific field entitled “Women and science: urgent action for real equality”. This work has shown that women still occupy a place too limited in the so-called “hard” sciences and that despite certain advances, the situation evolves only very slowly, and sometimes even shows a certain decline. This imbalance is found from the choice of options at the end of school and into professional life. 23 recommendations are made in this report. The eighth of these is to provide, in schools, for meetings between parents, young people and guidance counselors, teachers. These meetings would take place for each orientation level and would increase communication regarding the value of mathematics and science in general, and thus change parents' perceptions. In higher education a pattern of gender orientation is emerging. It is therefore essential to combat the stereotypes which determine the orientation of young people girls. This is why she asks him if such workshops will be integrated into the modules intended to facilitate student orientation.
