The male education crisis get worse

One News reports:

The percentage of domestic university students who are men has reached an all-time low of 39%, and it is worrying universities.

This will not be new to readers of Kiwiblog. I blogged in 2018 that men are:

• 11% less likely to get NCEA Level 1
• 7% less likely to get NCEA Level 2
• 14% less likely to get NCEA Level 3
• 25% more likely to leave school with no qualifications
• Twice as likely to be a high (special) needs student
• 27% less likely to get UE
• Three times more likely to be stood down, suspended
• 5 times more likely to be excluded or expelled
• 42% less likely to be in tertiary education
• 36% less likely to obtain a diploma
• 37% less likely to obtain a bachelors degree
• 25% less likely to get Honours
• 37% less likely to get Masters
• 26% less likely to get a PhD

If women were 42% less likely to be in tertiary education, we would have stories every week demanding the Government take action to reduce the inequality. But when it is boys failing at school and not gaining UE, there seems to be no urgency towards turning this around.
