Only every fifth girl in Slovakia is considering the study of some IT specialisation.
The recent survey carried out by the Institute for Public Affairs (IVO) suggests that 21 percent of girls, aged 14-17 years, are considering studying informatics or a similar specialisation, while another 22 percent can imagine their future in IT.
However, only 3 percent of girls are certain about studying informatics, the TASR newswire reported.
“The problem is that the decision rate to study and then find a job in the field is still relatively low,” said Marián Velšic, the author of the project and IVO analyst, as quoted by TASR.
