flag A new survey by I Wish reveals that girls in single-sex schools in Ireland face significant barriers to STEM education, with 55% reporting limited subject choices—compared to 37% in mixed schools. flag Only 5% of girls in all-girls schools had access to construction studies and 6% to engineering, far below rates in mixed schools. flag Despite high confidence in their abilities, nearly half of surveyed students reported increased anxiety about math. flag The findings highlight disparities in curriculum access and call for urgent action to expand STEM opportunities in all schools.
