EDITORIAL EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

A young engineer set on changing mindsets and

shattering stereotypes UNICEF’s 2020 Reimagining girls’ education through STEM report shows that 18% of female students in tertiary education pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. This under representation of women in these professions translates into a loss of critical talent and innovative thinkers.

F

ortunately, more women are challenging stereotypes by pursuing STEM careers perceived

to be masculine, which encourages young girls to change their attitudes about STEM subjects and consider careers in these fields. Among those paving the way for females in these careers is Precious Mahlangu, a 31-year old Engineering Support Technologist.
