Manama, Jan. 30 (BNA): The School of Bahrain received the College Board’s AP® Women’s Diversity Award for Computer Science for expanding girls’ access to AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) and achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science.
The award is given to schools for their work towards equal gender representation during the academic year.
The Bahrain School is one of only 760 schools worldwide that have been awarded an award for achieving this important result in the AP CSP.
This honor honors the outstanding work the school is doing to engage more female students in computer science.
Research shows that female students who take #APCSP in high school are more than five times more likely to major in computer science in college.
Providing female students with access to computer science courses is critical to ensuring gender parity in high-paying jobs in the industry and driving innovation, creativity, and representation.
