Is hard maths putting girls off physics? On 27 April, Katherine Birbalsingh, Social Mobility Commission Chair and Headteacher, sparked debate when she mentioned that girls didn’t like physics and were put off because of hard maths. She further added that the hard maths might be the reason “physics isn’t something girls tend to fancy”.
