According to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), women make up a smaller proportion of students entering, enrolled in, and graduating from engineering, manufacturing, and construction (EMC) programs when compared to men.

The PISA is a series of reports comparing 15-year-olds academic performance across subjects and countries.
