A sample of 291 high school seniors from 5 different schools in Estonia were surveyed about their future study choices and perceived influences on those choices. The findings indicate that there is a crucial need to systematically upgrade the level of obligatory computer classes (pedagogical lag), as the classroom experience is a key factor that shapes career-related decisions among young women. We claim that merely offering one-off initiatives (computer camps and summer schools) is not enough, but obligatory computer classes should keep pace with ICT developments in society.
