Yes. The increasing enrollment and participation of girls in STEM courses and programs is dispelling the long-held belief that boys have greater interest in and are more likely to excel in these subjects.
No. I still see a definite gender imbalance in these subjects. More needs to be done to encourage girls to excel in and pursue STEM fields.
Neither. (Comment below.)
