Men and boys are experiencing various problems in education today:
- Boys not performing well in school
- Boys being marked down by female teachers
- Men abandoning tertiary education
Primary School
Female teachers have a tendency to mark-down boys. This results in boys appearing
This is only true if education is counted merely as years of formal schooling. This discounts the vastly different value (and earning potential) of engineering over gender studies and also discounts all forms of informal education. It even seems to exclude non-tertiary training such as apprenticeships.
Two problems arise from measuring education in years of formal schooling.
- Not every year of formal schooling is equally valuable. A year in engineering is worth more to the individual and society than a year in gender studies.
- Not all education is acquired formally.
School
- Tendency to mark down disruptive students, who are mostly boys.
- Clear evidence boys are marked lower for the same work standard

University/College
While it is true that women now constitute a significant majority of University students, all degrees are not equal. Men continue to dominate in degrees in STEM disciplines, which are the principal drivers of innovation in the modern economies.
