AI in EducationAI & National SecurityAI Infrastructure & ResearchAI Strategy 争点度 2 · Mild query

質問は、過去5年間にシンガポール高等教育機関のAI・機械学習プログラムにおける女性学生の入学率および卒業率を調べ、男性学生との比較を行い、同時に女性の参加度を向上させるための具体的措置を問いました。政府は、女性が約4分の1の入学比率を占め、卒業率が90%を超えていると回答し、女性のAI/STEM参加を促進するための複数のプロジェクトおよび協力計画を紹介しました。中核的争点は、女性の参加度が低いことと、いかに効果的に向上させるかにあります。

重要なポイント

  • Women make up a quarter of AI course enrolment
  • Female graduation rate above 90%
  • Multiple programmes push female participation

19 Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Education over the past five years (a) what are the enrolment and graduation rates of female students in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning courses across Singapore's universities and polytechnics; (b) how do these figures compare to that of the male counterparts; and (c) what targeted measures are being implemented to increase female participation and retention in AI-related academic programmes.

Mr Chan Chun Sing : Over the past five years, female students comprised about a quarter of enrolment in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning programmes at the polytechnics and autonomous universities (AUs). Similar to male students, more than 90% of these female students graduate from their programmes.

The polytechnics and AUs will continue to raise awareness and interest in AI-related careers and courses through avenues, such as Open Houses and programmes for female students. For example, the Nanyang Technological University's Promotion of Women in Engineering, Research and Science (POWERS) programme equips female students with professional and personal skillsets to embark on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. The polytechnics partner with the Infocomm Media Development Authority, through the SG Women in Tech (SGWIT) initiative, to grow female students' interest in technology careers, through talks, workshops, hackathons and mentorship opportunities.
