英国大学男生比例走低 或成“弱势群体”
<p>英国大专院校招生服务机构负责人表示，申请大学学位课程的男生比例下降或让男生在教育方面处于“弱势”地位，从而影响其社会生存状况，因为大学毕业生的收入通常都高于未接受高等教育的普通员工。该机构统计数据显示，今年英国国内申请大学的学生中，女生比男生多出8万多人，而且这一趋势还将继续。英国14所大学已在招生计划中明确设定目标要多招收男生，尤其定向于小学教师的培养课程中，希望能有更多男教师在初期教育阶段为男孩子树立榜样。这位负责人指出，男女在学习成绩方面的差异也值得关注，“女生在小学和中学阶段的成绩都优于男生，自然就导致女生进入大学的比例高于男生”。英国入学公平办公室负责人介绍说，英国大学法律专业的学生中有70%是女生，护理专业90%的学生是女生，“这种性别差异应该值得关注”。</p><p><span word="UK">UK</span> <span word="universities">universities</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="setting">setting</span> <span word="targets">targets</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="recruit">recruit</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="men">men</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="male">male</span> <span word="students">students</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="increasingly">increasingly</span> <span word="becoming">becoming</span> <span word="the">the</span> “<span word="disadvantaged">disadvantaged</span> <span word="group">group</span>” <span word="in">in</span> <span word="education">education</span>.</p><p><span word="Mary">Mary</span> <span word="Curnock">Curnock</span> <span word="Cook">Cook</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="head">head</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Universities">Universities</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Colleges">Colleges</span> <span word="Admissions">Admissions</span> <span word="Service">Service</span> (<span word="Ucas">Ucas</span>), <span word="said">said</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="was">was</span> “<span word="very">very</span> <span word="worried">worried</span>” <span word="about">about</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="decline">decline</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="proportion">proportion</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="men">men</span> <span word="applying">applying</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="places">places</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="degree">degree</span> <span word="courses">courses</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="trend">trend</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="significant">significant</span> <span word="implications">implications</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="society">society</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="university">university</span> <span word="graduates">graduates</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="expected">expected</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="earn">earn</span> <span word="far">far</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="workers">workers</span> <span word="without">without</span> <span word="degrees">degrees</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Commons">Commons</span> <span word="business">business</span> <span word="select">select</span> <span word="committee">committee</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="warned">warned</span>.</p>
