Peer reviewedMlambo, Yeukai Angela; Mabokela, Reitumetse Obakeng – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
The under-representation of women in engineering is an issue of concern for policy-makers. While much of the existing literature has focussed on understanding reasons for women's under-representation in engineering and related technical fields, there is a paucity of research that examines why women who are already in engineering persist. This…

Hope Sikhosana; Hlologelo Malatji; Aldridge Munyoro – Cogent Education, 2023
The under-representation of women in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) is of great concern in South Africa. Despite the efforts made by the government to improve access to education for learners from previously disadvantaged communities, South African Black women are still under-represented in STEM fields. The present…

Mkhize, Zamambo – Transformation in Higher Education, 2022
Background: The presence of African women in mathematics has been nearly invisible. The underrepresentation of African women in this field is a result of their historical socio-political marginalisation. The mathematics discipline is politicised, racialised, and gendered to systematically oppress African women. The mathematics fields continue to…

Tikly, Leon; Vogel, Epke; Kurvers, Carmen – UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, 2020
While technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has the potential to bolster the participation of women in the labour market, this potential is not always well understood and capitalized on. In general, female students are lowly represented in TVET compared to general programmes, and in particular girls and women tend to be…

Mkhize, Zamambo – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields have historically been disciplines dominated by white men. The colonial ideology designated Africans as subhuman, inferior intellectually, socially, and culturally to the white masculine norm in STEM disciplines. STEM education and careers were thus constructed to attract white,…
