How should school curriculum be adjusted to address the growing male deficit in college enrolment?

(This generally applies more to first-world and heavily westernised countries.)

Is the pre-college/university education system generally more suited for girls than boys?

Should teaching methods be adjusted such that boys are able to learn as effectively as their female peers?

Or does it have to do with the difference between age and rate of female vs male maturation?

Are there any other reasons for this?

A significant part of the trouble is that teachers are grossly underpaid and very disrespected at least in the US. Women will tolerate this, but men won't, leading to a very substantial lack of male teachers, particularly in lower grades. No man I have ever met aspired to teaching except at the University level.

The few men that actually do try to teach in lower grades are almost always destroyed by gossip and false accusations by their female colleagues and the parents of children, who think all men are child molesters or rapists. Schools now are very reluctant to hire men because they don't want the trouble.

Terminate the Department of Education in the Federal Government system is how to fix this. That’s the means Socialists and Communists use to destroy individuals, families, and governing systems. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler all utilized it as well.

Need more trade courses, not everyone wants or can to go to college.
