STEM qualifications benefit female earning
The research, undertaken by consultancy firm London Economics, highlighted that achieving two or more A Levels in STEM subjects adds 33.1 per cent to female earnings compared to 7.8 per cent to a mans.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said: " More girls are studying maths and sciences than ever before and today's landmark report shows this can benefit their earnings by as much as a third."
Data showcases an increase of 10, 247 females taking Stem subjects at A Level since 2010. This includes a 15 per cent entry increase in physics, a 19 per cent increase in chemistry
entries and a 12 per cent entry increase in biology. The data was taken from research analysing the earnings of 13, 000 individuals since 1970 once they had reached the middle of their careers.
Morgan continued: "STEM A level entries are up by as much as a fifth since 2010 - but we won’t stop here. We are investing millions to get more children studying these subjects by training an additional 17,500 teachers over the next 5 years and setting up expert maths hubs to replicate the success of top-performing Asian countries."
