In nearly all science courses at university, there are significantly more male students than female students. What is the reason for this? What could be done to balance out the numbers?

negative trends can be attributed to many factors, namely negative stereotypes involving females and conservative mentality against them. In order to reduce

This

is because, it is quite a common thinking in our community that the sooner the

get married, the better.

For instance

in Bangladesh are compelled to get married even before they reach the age of 18. To combat

can only be implemented if the
