This is interesting
I wonder how this will play out. There are several things going on here. One is the finger on the balance of scholarships for woman and the deliberate promotion of woman and the flipside of the ignoring of men. On top of this is the failure of education so only those children with educated parents get a good education.
Then there is the changing job market in that there are lots of jobs in new zealand right now that don't need a higher education.
What will be interesting is what the growing number of woman in tertiary education study? There are still very low numbers in engineering but high numbers in law and education.
Also traditionally University is where more liberal attitudes come to the fore. If less men go there are they less likely to take more liberal path and will their ideas become more conservative.
