In nearly all science courses at university, there are significantly more male students than female students. What is the reason for this? What could be done to balance out the numbers?

The

science

is a widely taught area of studies in almost all the universities of the world. It is considered that there are considerably a higher number of men students than female learners in scientific studies.

This

assertion has a cause and

also

a solution

this

essay will discuss. On the one hand, the major reason behind the above trend is that scientific studies are highly logical and tough. It is widely thought that males can learn them easily as compared to women since

well by male learner than female, owing to their better cognitive skills.

In other words

, girls may not possess the ability to excel in

science

subjects, thereby account for less number of admissions they have in tertiary education. A study by Oxford University,

for instance

, showed that the percentage of male learners in

science

related courses is 50% higher in different universities in the USA, because of the difficulty level of these subjects, which could not be handled by female students.

On the other hand

, to resolve

this

issue and equalize the numbers of male and female students in scientific studies, schools should encourage females to adopt to learn the scientific learning from the very childhood. It is evident from different studies that due to the

disencouragment

of taking

science

subjects from adolescent age, parents hindered the skills and the learning of females in

science

subjects. If learning institutes support girls to opt for tough subjects

as
