dc.description	Globally, since 2000, study after study has made it clear that there is an alarming crisis in relation to female students’ interest in STEM educationand technology particularly biology, either as a possible future career, or as an intrinsic interest that will continue after school (Fensham, 2008). Girl-child education is the process through which the girl child is made functional members of her society. It is a process through which the girl-child acquires knowledge and realizes her potentialities and uses them for self-actualization, to be useful to her and others (Olaniyi, 2021).	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Globally, since 2000, study after study has made it clear that there is an alarming crisis in relation to students’ interest in STEAM education particularly biology. This paper examines the influence of government policy engagement in Information Communication Technology of the girl-child in Science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) in Nigeria.It viewed ICT simply as communication gadgets or equipment that have modernized, improved and eased exchange of ideas and information of various kinds between and among people within or across distant boundaries/frontiers. A gender-responsive ICT policy is one that equally considers and addresses the connectivity challenges and needs for all groups in society, and takes into particular consideration the unique challenges faced by women and girls.	en_US
