Add more female scientists to the National Curriculum
We would like the Department for Education to add more female scientists to the National Curriculum and make it mandatory for every exam board to include them in the specification.
The reason we are bringing it to the Government is because we want to make it mandatory for every exam board to include female scientists so that every student, in every school has the chance to learn about women in STEM. We think it's important for young girls to have a role model to look up to and encourage them into careers in Science.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
