same average results of many countries. For example, the female percentages reported for Israel are about
15%, for the United States approximately 10%, for the United Kingdom
about the same, though the Mediterranean countries seem to receive better
results, as do countries such as Iran
and Oman. Further, in Greece, one
third of professional engineers in general are women [8].
The main reasons for the satisfactory
performance of Greek female population
can be given as follows:

fair, improved in supporting any
Greek young student, and despite
its good or low quality it is a very
social system.
