Together, let's increase the representation of women* in STEM fields
In Quebec, too few female students opt for a university program in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
To reverse these statistics, the role of the teaching community at college and high school level is crucial.
Parité Sciences offers strategies, tools and resources to help professionals working with female students develop and sustain their interest in the fascinating world of science.
Testimonials
“At the end of CEGEP, I decided to continue my studies by doing my bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics at the University of Montreal. I got into this field partly thanks to my CEGEP teacher. Her way of teaching made me love physics even more than in high school. Hearing her talk about her career made me realize that not only does a bachelor's degree in physics exist, but also that there are women who are extremely successful in this field. Since CEGEP, I have hoped that one day I too will be THE teacher who will give a student the desire to get started, as she managed to do for me!”
