The Director, Science Education Unit of the Ghana Education Service, Mrs Olivia Serwaa Opare, has said that the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) results over the years reveal that more girls are now opting for Science in senior high schools (SHSs) in the country.
Describing the development as good news for the country, she indicated in a telephone interview that when girls engaged in practical lessons at the laboratories they changed their perception about the subject that it was a difficult, expensive and a ‘no go’ area for them.
“We have, therefore, realised that when we give them the necessary interventions and make teaching more practical, more girls will develop the interest to pursue Science,” Mrs Opare pointed out.
