“A girl child needs more attention. So if you give her more attention, you bring her close, you appreciate her the way she is, at least that will remove that mentality that math is hard and she will start loving it. And if she loves it now, she will find it easy to pass“ —Anastacia Ogutu is a math and business studies teacher at Nyajuok Secondary School in Siaya County, Kenya. Through her nurturing teaching method, she is dedicated to breaking down gender inequities that have discouraged girls from pursuing STEM subjects, so that they can succeed academically. #womeninstem #girlchildeducation
