We realized that boys are getting easier time into getting college or scholarship and so we work hard to compete. Not only we have to compete with the boys but we have to compete with the girls as well. All wanting an edge so we get that scholarship or entrance...<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think it's not fair why do we have to work so hard. I remembered being so frustrated at Petronas for not giving me chances to be interviewed.I got straight A's,active in clubs and all that but I heard my guy friend who only got 6A get the chance of being interviewed. It happens to all the other girls. It is definitely not fair at all and sometimes I think why should we care how the boys doing if they don't care about it themselves.

They have to be better than the boys in order to be given the opportunities. "Equal Opportunty for both sexes" is nothing more than a tag line on job advertisements. Parents would use their savings to support their son for an overseas education and at the same time, advise their equally bright daughter to study hard for a place in the local universities. In the most recent graduation ceremony of the West Point Military Academy, the top student award was won by a girl of Taiwanese origin.

Instead, it has been a contentious, rising issue afflicting students from other countries, including the United States.<BR/><BR/>A recent investigative research into the phenomenon, conducted by a U.S. government agency (or the international equivalent) and reported by the New York Times, has concluded that in the U.S., the ratio of women to men in college has been steadily increasing. This has resulted in a disproportionate amount of the sexes, but generally holds constant in most elite universities. However, women were found to populate very different disciplines, mainly education, public service, and so on, while the number of males still reign in the scientific field. <BR/><BR/>Moreover, the study found that the disparity between the sexes isn't due to innate intelligence- while indeed it has been proven and reported that the education system favors women more than men (because men were found to be more hyperactive and had difficulty maintaining concentration for long periods of time [or something to that effect- pardon me for possible errornous statements]), this disparity evaporates when men from a similar social class and status are compared. In that case, men perform as well as, even arguably better, to their female counterparts. Nevertheless, the study concluded that the 'alarming' discovery was that the men lagging behind mostly hailed from lower class families.<BR/><BR/>This issue has received a substantial amount of coverage in the U.S. Check out the New York Times, which indeed has devoted a large coverage of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1153393798721633012006-07-20T19:09:00.000+08:002006-07-20T19:09:00.000+08:00daniel.

Less guys are going into tertiary education, with some opting to work or doing vocational training after their high school education. <BR/><BR/>In fact, the NY Times featured a letter once from a college officer who's in charge of sifting throught applications. She mentioned that the competition is stricter among girls than guys, and there is slight tendency to allow 'an average achieved guy' rather than another 'quite high- achieved girl', where they already have a number of high-achiever girls. <BR/><BR/>Btw, I'm in UKM and er, luckily I'm not from the Social Science faculty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1153377853866403572006-07-20T14:44:00.000+08:002006-07-20T14:44:00.000+08:00Hey hey, why bother with such issue?

Europe? Americas?<BR/><BR/>At which point in the education process did this happen; in primary, secondary or post secondary education.
