In general, out of 30 students in a class for example, there is for sure that 70% of the

students are from female and the rest are male, even sometime there is none of them. In a

cynical tone and naughty of some female in a class will answer that male is more focus in

rehabilitation centers. Is that is really the answer? Maybe there is some truth of that

because the majority of them are really in there. Actually there are more than that. Male

learning method is actually more to hands on and not always reading and answers a paper.

Since school, they have been teach to study for their exam while read and memorize does

not really suite them. Then, after 4 years in university, in many cases, what they have been

learning does not help any of their choice and in their carrier development. Therefore,

more and more male will find other way that is continuing their study in other institute

such as industrial training institute (ILP), polytechnic and many others. It is supported by

facts that the numbers of male student who are following vocational and technical in

polytechnic in there represent 60% of them. In aware of this situation, the government has

introduced a lot of institutions like this to meet the needs of male students. This is certainly

far difference to female because they are more tend to reading and memorize all the facts

and theories that contain in books. The real facts nowadays this method would not help

students to apply what have they study to their job. There is true that male not like to just

sit and do nothing for example, reading. If we say examination in IPT is conduct in physical

way and not writing, we are sure that a lot of male students will graduate with successful.

When the issue of lack of male students in public higher education institutions (IPTA) was

raised once again by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education Sultan Idris (UPSI),

Assoc. Dr. Aminah Ayob widening gap was already expected because over the last five years

(since 2003), the dominance of female students in universities are already significant. This

phenomena need to be addressed by finding other factors that contributed to this

phenomena. From past to nowadays, there is no doubt that female are more systematic and

diligent in making something. This is maybe their natural dispositions that have beengranted while male, not many are like that. Consciously or not, our national education

system more celebrates those who work hard or in other words, neat to memorize, parsing,

etc which is in female side and indirectly close male opportunity to show their

performance. According to Dr. Aminah Ayob, the ministry of education has to change the

learning technique to more empowering students to study and think.

We do not have to depend on the shape of the examination system but change it from

memorize techniques to sharpen the mind and thought.

''If the lack of male students in IPTA is not addressed, there will be huge imbalances that

lead to participation by them in professional fields does not stand out, "she said.

Not only because male are more in technical and vocational studies that lead to least in

public higher education institution, as we know, Admission to universities is determined by

academic qualifications. Academic results for male normally not as satisfied as female students; this is

related to our national education system which more emphasize with examination results. As we

mention above, female students are more hard in memorize, reading and study more than male

students, so there is no surprise that examination results for female are better than male students.

Therefore, in public examination results such as Certificate of Education Malaysia (SPM) or Malaysian

Higher School Certificate (STPM) is brighter among female students. Therefore, with good results, they

easily get enter higher education institution compared to male students with unsatisfied examination

results.
