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 been observed that most

universities

have more male

students

enrolled than females. In

this

essay, the reasons for

this

will be discussed,

as well as

some possible methods to tackle

this

problem will be suggested.

Firstly

, there are several

universities

that are operating on a quota-based system which means that there are specific numbers 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 higher male population than that of females in many

science

universities

.

Secondly

, many surveys 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 make videos that are mostly focused on beauty and makeup.

However

, male Youtubers are seen making videos revolving around new scientific discoveries and technology.

However

, there are many ways to tackle

this

unequal ratio at

universities

. Foremost among them 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, more girls can be motivated to pursue careers in scientific fields.

To sum up

,

although

there may be more male

students

currently in

science

subjects.

Nevertheless

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

students

could be motivated to pursue careers in

science

-related fields.

This

will help increase diversity in scientific professions and allow girls to feel more comfortable and empowered in choosing to enter

this

kind of job in the future.
