Yesterday was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, established by a decision of the UN General Assembly in 2015.
According to the UN, today less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women and participation is particularly low in IT (3%), science, math and statistics (5%).
«We at KEDITH - Kedith - Public Benefit Enterprise of the Municipality of Thessaloniki
we are going "against" all this. Only women are employed in our offices and our structures are superior. It happened, but it also succeeded» said President Ioanna Kosmopoulou.
And it continues: "In its digital education programs #Kedith_Cisco_Academya significant participation of women was observed. In the Python programming language course, 7 women graduated out of a total of 19, in "Entrepreneurship" 6 out of a total of 15 and in "Introduction to the Internet of Things", as well as in "Introduction to Cyber Security", which are still running, graduated 3 and 5 women respectively.
And now that the most demanding program "CCNA v 7: Cisco Certified Network Partner" lasts 210 hours, we would like to encourage the girls of our city to declare a potential "present" in this».
Digital technology is a field that fits us all. We look forward to your participation until 22/2/21.
