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? It has

It has been observed that most of the

science

-based subjects at universities have more male

students

enrolled than females. In

this

essay, reasons for

this

will be discussed,

as well as

some possible methods to tackle

this

problem.

Firstly

, there are several universities that are Operating on

quota-based system which means that there are a specific number of seats allocated to girls and boys, and most of them are reserved for males.

As a result

, more male candidates gain admissions compared to female candidates resulting in a male population that far exceeds the female population in many

science

universities.

Secondly

, many surveys have been conducted that show that primarily men are interested in scientific disciplines

while

females are more intrigued by the arts.

For instance

, these days with increasing social media usage, it is evident that female content creators prefer to create content

that is

mostly focused on beauty and makeup.

However

,

on the other hand

, male Youtubers are seen making videos revolving around new scientific discoveries and technology. One of the many ways to tackle

this

unequal ratio is to increase the number of seats for female

students

.

This

will not only enhance their chances of getting admission but

also

motivate them to take an interest in sciences.

Moreover

, by organizing

science

exhibitions, especially in girls-only schools, and spreading awareness regarding the scope and employment prospects of pursuing

science

disciplines, a positive change can be made and more girls will be interested in scientific fields.

To sum up

,

although

there may be more male

students

currently in

science

subjects, by implementing changes in admission allocation and employing other methods mentioned above, female

students

could be motivated to pursue careers in

science

-related fields.
