A new UNESCO report warns that, while digital technologies can enhance teaching and learning, they also present risks such as the invasion of users’ privacy, distraction from learning and cyberbullying.

Angel and Fatma are two girls from Tanzania who are pursuing their dreams by learning new skills and knowledge. They are on the path of empowerment and overcoming challenges of access to education and gender bias with the support from the Joint Programme by UNESCO, UNFPA and UN Women.
In 2015, all 193 UN Member States committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals. All of these goals and particularly quality education and gender equality are advanced by promoting girls' education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Everyone can study or pursue a career in science, boy or girl. Meet Eunice, Adobea, and more girls as they share their dreams for the future with us.
Through the UNESCO-HNA Partnership for Girls’ and Women’s Education, over 1,000 school girls took part in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Clinics in 3 districts in Ghana. These one-day events helped widen girls’ perceptions on these subjects and gave them an opportunity to interact with female role models.
Bridging the gender gap: why do so few girls study Stem subjects?
There is a whole tangle of reasons why the gender gap in Stem exists. One is a pipeline issue – fewer girls than boys choose to study Stem subjects at secondary school and university. Interventions internationally mean the numbers of girls in Stem subjects are creeping up very slowly, but the gap remains surprisingly resistant nonetheless.
