There been and ongoing drive to feminize education ineEducation systems all over the western world, including Ireland, they changed over to schooling that favours the female style of learning and Ireland like other western countries has this feminized education system and the teaching profession is also feminized. The studies show that female teachers mark boys harder, and mark girls with a bias in their favour.

It is proven that girls are better at studying material and reproducing it( learning it off) than boys

Its proven that girls do better at course work, boys do better with the focus is more competitive.

The 20-year trend of girls beating boys in exams could soon be reversed after a move to drop coursework in maths GCSEs allowed boys to leapfrog their female classmates' results in just one year.

Coursework will be scrapped from nearly all GCSEs next year, but today'srecord-breaking results showed that when it was dropped from maths, boys surged ahead for the first time in more than a decade while girls got fewer of the top marks.

Coursework is being replaced in nearly all subjects with "controlled assessment", extended tasks sat in exam conditions. The decision to remove coursework was prompted by concerns about plagiarism but it now appears it will have a significant impact on the gender gap in education and could even end up disadvantaging girls.

Mike Cresswell, director general of the exam board AQA, presenting the GCSE results today, said: "This year the boys are doing better than the girls at GCSE maths. It's the first time that has been true since 1997. The obvious speculation is it reflects the removal of coursework from GCSE maths. It's well established that girls outperform boys at coursework."

So how are we supposed to change that?

Go back to having more male teachers and have courses that accommodate both learning styles or sex segregated or learning style segregated classes. There is no education gap for all boys schools, they typically do better than co-eds and all girls schools.
