students in tanzania working at desks with science class supplies

In most schools, boys have priority to take science because it is believed that science is too difficult for girls. Fewer than 17% of girls can take high school science, but, at The School of St Jude’s new secondary campus for girls, every girl takes science every year (grades 7-12). When a girl takes science at St Jude, she is able to pass her national exams and possibly attend university on scholarship for a science or medical degree. The bias against girls is removed and the entire community benefits.
