And the minister of education defends it as fair...

The whole world admits to this. They just bend over backwards justifying that it’s fair to ignore boys in need or advantage girls.

officially gender inequality only counts if girls do worse

The score is calculated, predicted grades, school, previous markes all used etc... THEN if you are a boy mark goes down, if you are a girl mark goes up... put it this way, would you do this on race (e.g. mark goes down for certain races, up for some), or would you do this to lower girls grades? No there would be world war 3... this however, will not even make the Guardian or be talked about.... any discussion will ONLY be focused on race, class, private school etc...

Its like when a document for COVID beds in ICU got leaked.... you get points, too many points means I think it was 6, means no bed.... men of any age were automatically given a point just for being male as were elderly.... EVERY single newspaper without fail ONLY mentioned agesim etc, not a single one mentioned gender at all, even in passing.

Also its part of wider bias in education:

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

The calculated grading system being used for this year's Leaving Certificate has been designed to ensure that overall girls will do better than boys.

The exams system is supposed to be blind and anonymised, but the gender of students will be taken into account, the Irish Independent has learned.

"Ms Foley said in her written reply to Sinn Féin TD Donnchadh Laoghaire:"The purpose of the calculated grades system is to arrive at the grade each student would have achieved if the Leaving Certificate examinations had taken place as normal.
