Gender gap in UK degree subjects doubles in eight years, Ucas study finds

"Caroline Jordan, president of the Girls’ Schools Association, said more needed to be done to inform girls about the careers available in engineering and computing. “What concerns me is the gap in the different types of sciences, with women focusing on the more obvious people-orientated science roles without considering engineering and computing opportunities, when we know that we need one million new engineers and technicians in the next five years.”"

So the solution to this gender gap is to 'encourage' more girls to do subjects they don't want to do rather than improve male access to tertiary education?

Has the women’s movement now become so normalised that we cannot conceive of needing to take positive action to secure equal education outcomes for boys?

Yes
