Women Continue To Outperform Men In School And College

Written by Mitchell Steiner on June 27, 2011 – 10:57 am

Education Week has a new high school graduation study that shows women significantly exceed men in finishing high school. But the gender gap grows even larger for 4 year college graduation- 58% femele versus 42% men. This college  grduation gap continues to grow , and for african american and latino males it is much worse. I cannot find any research that has a well designed basis for explaing the reasons for this gap. There are a lot of opinions supported by partial studies , but they are not experimental or include random sampling and statistical controls that are  used in high quality  medical research. There seems to be no organized research program to understand what is going on. Why is the graduation gap larger in college than high school? How can we find out more?

    There is no mystery here. The US education system is geared toward women. Take for example the latest new guidelines on sexual violence. They arent aimed at keeping campuses safe but rather harassing men. The guidelines are based largely on an online study which was predicated on sexists double standards. And guess who has major influence on writing American educational guidelines the American Association of University Women.
