Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2025

Debate

Girls: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Contribution

I shall be honest: I have three girls, and they found their computing courses absolutely boring, and yet it should be one of the most inspiring subjects they can learn, so my noble friend is right. We are investing in this area and funding the National Centre for Computing Education’s I Belong programme, which is targeting this. It is a hugely important issue and is probably getting even more so as we go forward.
