It's true. Women are graduating from post-secondary education at higher rates than men.

Maybe, just maybe this starts out younger than we think. Check this link about the performance of poor white boys in school.

The suggestion is because white male poor pupils do worse at school their chances of getting good jobs is reduced

Ahh...this explains why women get paid less than men. /s

Each group did see improvements in their results over the five year period, but white boys saw the least improvements which suggests they are being left behind, according to the EHRC.

White male privilege!

The best part is that girls do better in every race than boys for both poor AND middle class students.

But why is there a difference? Sorry, we can't give you a definite answer. Neither can the EHRC. Neither can the government. It's likely to be a combination of reasons which could include culture or location.

Mmmmmaybe its because the education system favours women?

boys on average score 15 percent lower on an assessment of non-cognitive skills (engagement in class, ability to sit calmly, interpersonal skills) than girls

The difference in engagement, in particular, could explain the gender gap. Interestingly, boys tend to start school as eager and as excited as girls, often with similar connectedness to teachers, says James Earl Davis, a professor of educational leadership at Temple University in Philadelphia who studies gender and education.

“Then it’s squelched early on, by third or fourth grade.” Why the change? Boys “continue to get the message they’re not doing right,” Davis says, echoing Cox.

Maybe its time for the genders to be separated? Teach one way to boys and another to girls. Boys are active as fuck. They shouldn't be sitting in a classroom all day.
