A short thread on the educational gender gap because I think it's going to become one of the biggest questions in developed world education over the next few years...
Very interesting thread. Crucially, it’s not in women’s interests for men not get good qualifications and jobs - we marry them, have kids with them and share household bills with them!

It's also not zero sum - the higher the overall education level in society the stronger the economy and the more good jobs available for everyone.

Indeed. Isn’t there quite a lot of evidence that the “feminisation” of education - largely female teachers, and taking competition out of school lessons and sport - has been bad for boys?
-
Not really. No evidence that e.g. having male teachers in primary has an impact on boys attainment.
