A whopping 73 per cent of boys in the US are confident about learning computer science as compared to girls (60 per cent), according to a report that highlights prevalent gender gaps in learning the subject.
The report, titled 'Current Perspectives and Continuing Challenges in Computer Science Education in US K-12 Schools', was conducted by Gallup and commissioned by Google.
It showed that only 25 per cent girls are interested in learning computer science as compared to 50 per cent boys.
Further, just 15 per cent of girls were enrolled in classes where only computer science is taught, compared with 27 per cent of boys. Girls (30 per cent) also feel less confident they could be successful in learning computer science, than boys (41 per cent).
