Synopsis

Men are falling behind academically. In 2014, the psychologists Daniel and Susan Voyer analyzed the grades of over a million students from across the world and published it in the journal of the American Psychological Association. From math to social studies to science to reading, girls outperformed boys in all subjects. This disparity is seen not just in schoolchildren but extends beyond as well. According to data published by the Education Department, men enroll in college at lower rates than women. Once enrolled, men are more likely to drop out of college than women. This gender gap is mirrored in the Muslim community. According to data collected by Dalia Mogahed’s ISPU, Muslim women looking to marry a man who is similarly educated find that as a group, men are less educated than them. This has chilling consequences for the Muslim community. According to ISPU’s data, Muslim men remain single at greater rates than Muslim women. While the causes of the current “Muslim marriage crisis” are decidedly multifactorial, the gender education gap is no small contributor. This concise book contains 10 short chapters which prepare the reader for college. From advice on how to study to advice on how to deal with failure, this book guides young Muslim men who are the beginning of their college journey.
