A comparison with other Kenyan universities reveals similar trends, confirming that these disparities are systemic at the national level. The gaps are particularly pronounced in engineering programmes (fewer than 25 % of women), whilst science and mathematics disciplines show uneven progress (for example, 41.8 % of women in science in 2021, compared with 27.9 % in 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The causes identified include gender stereotypes, a lack of female role models, and cultural and educational barriers, as confirmed by previous studies (UNESCO, 2019; Mukhwana et al., 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors also emphasise the need to adopt an intersectional approach in order to take account of the multiple forms of discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address this, they recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the introduction of mentoring programmes for female STEM students; ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">awareness-raising campaigns against stereotypes; ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a review of education policies, particularly with regard to admission criteria and the allocation of grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This study makes a significant contribution to the global debate on gender equality in science and technology careers, a key issue for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the full article here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Gender_Disparity_in_STEM_Programs_in_Kenya_Case_of_Dedan_Kimathi_University_of_Technology.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of \u2018Gender Disparity in STEM Programmes in Kenya: The Case of Dedan Kimathi University of Technology\u2019.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-1ef3733a-7322-44e0-bbdb-f33ce9ace29b\" href=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Gender_Disparity_in_STEM_Programs_in_Kenya_Case_of_Dedan_Kimathi_University_of_Technology.pdf\">Gender Disparity in STEM Programmes in Kenya: The Case of Dedan Kimathi University of Technology<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Gender_Disparity_in_STEM_Programs_in_Kenya_Case_of_Dedan_Kimathi_University_of_Technology.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-1ef3733a-7322-44e0-bbdb-f33ce9ace29b\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n  <div class=\"related-post grid\">\r\n        <div class=\"headline\">Similar articles<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"post-list\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"item\">\r\n            <div class=\"thumb post_thumb\">\r\n    <a  title=\"STEM AND EDUCATION: RESEARCH INTO GENDER-RELATED GAPS\" href=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/en\/stem-et-education-recherche-des-gaps-lies-au-genre\/?related_post_from=579\">\r\n\r\n              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/GRAIN_newlogo_273_-removebg-preview-1.png\" title=\"STEM AND EDUCATION: RESEARCH INTO GENDER-RELATED GAPS\" alt=\"STEM AND EDUCATION: RESEARCH INTO GENDER-RELATED GAPS\">\r\n\r\n      \r\n\r\n    <\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"STEM AND EDUCATION: RESEARCH INTO GENDER-RELATED GAPS\" href=\"https:\/\/grain-africa.org\/en\/stem-et-education-recherche-des-gaps-lies-au-genre\/?related_post_from=579\">\r\n        STEM AND EDUCATION: RESEARCH INTO GENDER-RELATED GAPS  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    Not so long ago, people lived and went about their daily lives in close-knit communities.
