This seems to be having a detrimental effect on people taking up Science for example, both academically or from a career viewpoint. A lot of subjects are still male dominated, and this needs to be addressed, as a diverse workforce brings in different mindsets, and ways of solving problems.

Perhaps we do need to segregate genders, so that people can get on with things without distraction.

Ultimately we probably need to go in to schools at the right time, and give info on where the skills shortages are, and what you need to study to fill those roles, we have a huge need for doctors and nurses, scientists, engineers etc our education system, should in part be promoting that to encourage children to not only study, but see the value in studying those subjects, then teach those topics to a high standard but also encourage self study and development.

Find role models for everyone and ensure there are posters or displays up that celebrate diversity.
