The Philippines placed second in the countries with the most numbers of female inventors, a recent report by the World Intellectual Property Office said.
However, within the education context, Evident Integrated Marketing and PR reported that «just two in seven engineering students are female, only 41 percent of students taking IT-related courses are women,» the British Council said in a news release.
It added that Filipino women make up only 43 percent of science, technology, engineering and mathematics enrolments—and mostly in nonengineering or non-informational technology fields, according to statistics from the Commission on Higher Education. To support Filipino women to further their careers in STEM, the British Council is inviting applications for its Women in STEM scholarships which deadline is on March 31.
There are 29 scholarships from six UK universities on offer, namely for Brunel University, Teesside University, Liverpool John Moores University, Edinburgh Napier University, University of Glasgow and the University of York.Courses being offered include those in the fields of climate change, healthcare management, automation and water engineering, among others.
