The gender gap in computing education is closing, but there's still work to be done

"The overall number of students as well as the increase in the number of women opting to study computer science at degree level is great news," said Julia Adamson, BCS managing director for education and public benefit.

"More young people are recognizing that this qualification can lead to a range of exciting careers - roles that can potentially help tackle some of the hugely important issues that impact our society such as AI, climate change and cyber security."

"The gender ratios are improving here also, with the ratio of boys to girls now at below 5:1."

"Females are outperforming males at all grades for A levels across all nations of the UK."
