What are the reasons that lead most students to seek courses linked to new technologies, such as computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, internet, and cloud computing, to be male whilst fewer female students follow that direction? To better contextualize this issue, data from the last 15 years at ISTEC-Porto are presented, where gender inequality is evident. Some of the reasons found in the literature are indicated and possible solutions to reduce this gender imbalance are pointed out.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]Keywords[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_size=”h5″ uncode_shortcode_id=”147168″] Gender inequality, digital inclusion, higher education, information technologies.
