The 精东视频 welcomes the Advancing Women in STEM 2020 Action Plan announced today by the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, the Hon Karen Andrews MP.
Academy President Professor John Shine said the action plan is a key step to deliver the vision of Australia鈥檚 10-year plan for Women in STEM. The plan was developed by the Academy in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering following wide ranging consultation with the STEM sector.
鈥淭he Government is clearly committed to delivering on the vision of the 10-year plan. Their action plan is focused on education, careers and visibility and a number of important initiatives on changing practice, data and evaluation,鈥� Professor Shine said.
鈥淚f you can鈥檛 measure it, you can鈥檛 improve it. The 10-year plan for Women in STEM makes clear that most gender equity programs in STEM in Australia, apart from a handful of programs such as the Science in Australia Gender Equity initiative, lack useful performance data and formal evaluation.
鈥淭he STEM Equity Monitor will play a significant role in tracking the impacts of initiatives across the STEM sector and inform the systemic changes required to achieve gender equity,鈥� Professor Shine said.
The Academy also welcomes:
鈥淣o single sector or organisation can solve the under-representation of women in STEM nor remove the barriers they face,鈥� Professor Shine said.
鈥淟et鈥檚 celebrate our successes this International Women鈥檚 Day but also acknowledge that we have a long journey ahead when it comes to achieving gender equity and diversity in STEM.
鈥淲e will continue to work with the Government and the STEM sector to achieve the vision of the Women in STEM 10-year plan and to keep driving this systemic change.鈥�
