"And it's a pretty well known fact that the way STEM subjects are generally taught from the earliest ages of childhood tend towards putting girls and women off."

If you mean that they contain STEM then yes, you're right.

Otherwise, please elaborate.

Oh and why does biology buck the trend?

Are the biology teachers less interested in putting off girls or do the girls (and I might be going way out on a limb here) tend to find the subject matter more interesting than other STEM subjects?
