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 narrow definition has several serious problems:

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.
It seems to ignore non-tertiary training such as apprenticeships. Trades are essential to the functioning of a modern society.
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

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.
