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”。 UK universities are setting targets to recruit more men as male students are increasingly becoming the “disadvantaged group” in education. Mary Curnock Cook, the head of the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas), said she was “very worried” about the decline in the proportion of young men applying for places on degree courses. The trend has significant implications for society because university graduates are expected to earn far more than workers without degrees, the Commons business select committee was warned. |
