The article considered the need to promote women in education along the path of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Nowadays, more and more women are working in male-dominated fields. While STEM is still dominated by men, and there is an increase in women in education [1]. Based on this, statistical data on the choice of an educational program (EP) “Informatics” along the STEM trajectory by men and women after secondary education were studied. Based on the data received from the departments to which (EP) informatics belongs, data from 6 universities of Kazakhstan were requested. The sample consisted of students enrolled in the informatics educational program from the 1st to the 4th year. To study this, we used a quantitative analysis method, thanks to which we found that women are much more likely to choose a pedagogical direction than men. Our results show that an environment with gender-normative ideas pushes women to get STEM education more often than men. To this end, we are considering the issue of informatics along the STEM trajectory, as well as the creation of additional sections to the content of professional disciplines taught in the EP “Informatics”. This textbook is intended for students of pedagogical universities preparing future teachers of informatics in secondary schools.
