Introduction

The numbers of the male students entering the public institution of higher

learning (IPTA) has been decrease every year. Every university in this country

faced the same problem. Nowadays, in this late 10 years, this problem has

become a doctrine and become an unpopular issue to be discussed. This issue

should be solved long time ago in order to help the country to be successful.

Vice Chancellor of Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Prof. Dr. Aminah

Ayob said that unexpectedly in the technical field including engineering, it also

has been dominated by the women students instead of male students in all the

university. For the education field, almost 70% was controlled by the women

students. The small numbers of male students do not only happened in UPSI

and in education field only, but expand to the other university in other field like

technical and professional.

During the registration day, we can see that all the university were full

with the people with “baju kurung”, skirt and blouse, sari, and other female

clothes. There only a few of them wearing shirt and slack. This shows that the

numbers of male students than female students are less. Efforts should be done

in order to motivated the remaining male students who are successfully get the

place in IPTA to be more prominent and well-known in IPTA. They should

practice to be the leader and how to organize some organization. Therefore, in

there will be the future leader of the country that can lead our country.

If this phenomenon is not solved soon, it will affect the future of our

country. Extinction phenomenon will give major implications for religion,

socio-economic and psychological community, especially the family, because

usually men are the head of the family. Besides, it gives a long-term impact on

the country and society.

The number of students register for 2010/2011 session also show the

same result with female students 61750 or 58.6% from 105,377 students who

registered in this session. This shows that number of male students is 43627 or

41.4% which is almost 2:1 rate.

In the university level, at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia female students still

dominated the number of students registered for this new batch. Number of

female students is 2471 or 68% from 2635 students. The difference between

number of male and female students is very big. Male students only have 164

which show a very small number compare to female students. The large number

of difference frightened that in the future there will be no more male students in

the university. Although there is some university show that male students more

than female students, the difference is very small that 55% male students and

45% female students.

Other information from the ministry of higher education is about the

statistic of students registered is in the first degree. Number of students who get

the offer is 40,506 with female 26,229 and percentage 64.8%.

The totals of female students get the offer for education programme after

Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) also more than male students. Only

25.2 % or 14,277 of male students get the offer. For programme after SPM, only

41.55% or 15,333 male student get the offer. According to ministry of higher

education, the offer given to female students is more than to male students for

every race for both level of education.

The domination of registration of students to the IPTA parallel to the

number of students applied which also show the big difference in the number of

students applied. According to ministry of higher education, about 67% or

41,046 from the total 61,228 application form receive is from the female

students. This number is one times of the male students. Furthermore, numbers

4

of students applied for 2010 increase compare to the last year 40,886 also more

than male students who applied about one times, 20141 from male students.

The charts above show the number of students applied for the after SPM

programme like matriculation, STPM and etc according to race.

can be clearly being seen in the charts below. The number of male students still

is less than female students. The same pattern can be seen in all races. The big

differences can be seen for Malay and Indians. For Chinese, the differences are

less than the other two although number of female is more than male.

The extinction of male students has been happened during the secondary

school. From the report of Malaysia Planning 10th (RMKe10), in 2008 the

enrolment of students after secondary school is dominated by female.

According to statistics, 65.9% is female while male is 34.1%. In addition, the

RMKe10 reported that the total of first degree holder was dominated by female

with 62.3% while male with 37.7%.

According to civilization statistics in 2005, the data show that the male

with age 0 to 14 years old is higher than female. The total of male is 3.777

billion while female is 3.554 billion. This showed that the male is 0.223 billion

or 223,000 more than female. This statistic was considered because the group of

students who studied in the IPTA now was 3 to 6 years old at that time. After 15

years, that group of people are studying in the IPTA, but the total of female is

more than male. So, where is the male actually?

The bar charts above showed the number of students registering to IPTA

according to the level and gender. The levels of education are PhD, graduated,

post graduated, under graduated, diploma and others. The statistics were

arranged according to the IPTAs’ in Malaysia. The IPTA that has been observed

is Universiti Malaya(UM), Universiti Sains Malaysia(USM), Universiti

Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM), Universiti Putra Malaysia(UPM), Universiti

Teknologi Malaysia(UTM), Universiti Utara Malaysia(UUM), Universiti Islam

Antarabangsa Malaysia(UIAM), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak(UNIMAS),

Universiti Malaysia Sabah(UMS), Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris(UPSI),

Universiti Teknologi Mara(UiTM), Universiti Darul Iman(UDM), Universiti

Sains Islam Malaysia(USIM), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu(UMT),

Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia(UTHM), Universiti Teknologi

Melaka(UTeM), Universiti Malaysia Pahang(UMP), Universiti Malaysia

Perlis(UNIMAP), Universiti Malaysia Kelantan(UMK), Universiti Pertahanan

Nasional Malaysia(UPNM).

The observation was done according to gender. From the chart 1, the

number of female students registering to IPTA is more than male students. The

pattern is same for all university in Malaysia. Although there are some

university such as UTM, UDM, UTeM, UMP, UNIMAP, and UPNM have

more male students than female, but the difference is very small. The difference

can be clearly seen in the chart 1. The university like UM, USM, UPM, UKM,

16

UUM, UIAM, and UPSI, the difference is very high between male and female

students.

In the PhD level, the number of male students is more than female

students. The pattern is the same for all university. From the observation, male

students is more than female students is due to male students have high

motivation to further their study in higher level of education. While, female

students only satisfied with undergraduates’ level. Not many female students

are willingly to further their study in PhD level. Only small numbers of female

further their study to higher level.

Otherwise, the number of female in the level like graduated, post

graduated, undergraduate and diploma are higher than male students. The

number of students is high due to female students is hardworking and willing to

success in future life. Female students also wanted to have the better career in

the future in order to live in comfortable life. Besides, the results obtain by

female students is better than male students during the SPM level and during

undergraduate level. So, the chances for the female students to further their

study are very high.

In addition, male students are preferred in technical fields rather than

sciences field. This pattern can be seen in the bar charts below. The number of

male students is more than female students in the technical field but less than

female in the sciences field. In the university like UPSI, UMP, UNIMAP and

17

UPNM, there is no registration in the sciences field. While the registration at

other university like UM, USM, UKM, UPM and others is very high. The chart

show that number of female students is more than male students who register in

sciences field. The differences are very high and we can see clearly in the chart

below. The number of male is almost half of the female especially in the UiTM,

UKM, UPM, UM, UMT, USM and UM.

Otherwise, in the technical field, the numbers of male students are more

than female students. The difference is quite far in the university like UTM,

UMP, UNIMAP, and UTeM. There are a lot of technical programme in this

university like engineering, and others. Therefore, there are more male students

than the female students in that university. Although the number of male

students is more than female students, but the differences are not very big

compare to the sciences field.

The reasons why male students is more than female student in the

technical field are male students have better psychomotor skills compare to

female students. Male students can learn practically better than academically.

Male students also cannot concentrate in the lecture longer than female. They

also cannot memorise all the theory because they love to learn practically. In the

technical field, most of the class are done practically. So, that is why male

students prefer technical more than sciences.

18

In addition, male students are not interested in the field that require

memorising technique. While, female students like to memorise, elaborate and

explain. Those are the natural attitude of female. The educational system in

Malaysia also gives benefits to female students. The systems needs the students

to be good in memorising, elaborating and explaining the theory rather than

practically. Female students are good in academically compared to practically.

That is why male students prefer technical field rather than sciences field. We

can see in the bar chart that percentage of male student is more than female

students in the technical field.

Besides, female students are more diligences and systematic compare to male.

Female students like to arrange their notes, books, and tutorials accordingly so

that, the notes can be easily found when needed. They also like to do their own

notes with colourful pens in order to make it easier to remember. Otherwise,

male students do not know where they keep the notes when they need them.

According to Prof Madya Dr Azahari Ismail who has been interviewed

Bernama said that the curriculum system of education of this country is come

from the West Country that was more conducive to female students who are

more hardworking and systematic. In 1800, the educational system of the

country at west side was created to fulfil the people needs that were dominated

by men at that time. There is also the organization to balance the gender in the

education that was created by female academician at that time. Begin from that

time; the educational system was changed to help female students in education.

According to Dr Azahari who was also the director that design the

unemployed graduated students programme, the performance of male and

female students in education in America was balanced due to the “judaeo-

christian, frontier mentality and individualism” that still strong which stress the

male students to study hard. The number of students in the university also

balanced because the performance of each gender is balanced.

Otherwise in Malaysia, the educational system was changed because

many academicians in 30 to 40 years ago studied in America. So that the system

20

was changed according to the way they studied there. While the traditional

value in this country was not strong that causes many male students lost their

identity. Male students also lazy and do not study hard to get the best

performance. That is why he said that the extinction phenomenon is worst and

the America was facing the same problem after 40 years.

Besides, other reason that causes the extinction of male students in IPTA

is due the changed in family institution to “nuclear family” (family with father,

mother and child). Before this, there are grandfather that can give informal

lesson from the fairy tales to the grandchildren while the parents going to work.

Therefore the child will have strong identity and they will not confuse.

In addition, according to Dr. Azahari, the male’s communication habits

depends on movement and the used of visual and graphic effect in learning.

Oral lessons cannot help male students during learning because they need

informal lesson in order to increase their understanding level. Formal lessons

only help female students in learning process.

Other reason why male students cannot succeed in education is because

of the economy problem in family. For instant, in the poor family the son have

to stop study in order to find some money to buy food and other needs of his

family. The elder brother of the family will be responsible to find some income

to the family especially if the father has died. Dr. Azahari said that the son is

better to find some income to the family rather than study in the system that

21

gives more benefits to female. This opinion has been support by Iranian student;

Katrin Shamshiri. She said that the same phenomenon had happened in her

country because there are no guaranteed to get any job after graduated. She also

said that the women in her country study hard to get the prestige and respect so

that, they can choose their own future husband.

Besides, other reasons that can be discussed are the lack of site of study

in the house. In the big town, the house like apartment and flat which are small

give the not conducive place for study and doing revision. So, for boys who

need some individual spaced get the chances to go out loafing with friends.

Therefore the suggestion is to build the low cost house with at least four rooms

to give enough spaced for parents, daughters, sons and guest.

Dr Azahari also said that mentality of the parents nowadays has changed

because a degree does not guarantee their child to get good job. The proved can

be seen that there are many unemployed graduated students in this country. He

suggested that all the teachers and lecturers must learn the sociology and

psychology knowledge in order to change the mentality of the students. The

Islamic value must be the contents in the philosophy of education. The thinking

style of university students should be changed that education is not only to get

the better job in the future. In Islam, the importance of learning is not only to

get the job, but it was compulsory. Actually, we have misunderstanding the

concept that education is just to get the better job and to be rich.

22

In a class at the university, the number of students is 30. 70 percent from

the students is female and the rest is male. Unfortunately, there is also no male

in some classes. This phenomenon gives the chances to the female students to

say that many men are in the rehabilitation centre. It is true that many men are

majority in there. Therefore many male students say that the educational system

in this country is not practical and suitable to the style of study of male students.

The lecturer at the psychology and human development faculty of UKM,

Roseliza Murni Ab Rahman said that many male students involve in negative

thing like drug addict, gangsters, loafing until ignoring the education process.

When they failed in secondary school, they will not interested in education

anymore and involve in negative items. This issue become worse when a few

male students were trying to act like a woman or in other words “soft man”.

During the primary and secondary level, the students have been trained to

study for the exam. The education system is concentrated on reading and

memorising which is not relevant and not fulfil the interest of male students.

Actually the way of male students study is more to hands on. Therefore, there

are many male students more interested in the technical field like in the skill

institution, Industrial Training Institute (ILP), and Polytechnics. This is proved

by the fact that there are 60 percent male students in the technique and

vocational learning.

23

The extinction of male students in IPTA issue also worried by the Vice

Chancellor of UPSI that the difference between male and female is very big and

that phenomenon has been guessed because in these late five years, the

domination of female in the IPTA is very high. The most surprised is that

nowadays, the domination of male in the technical field including engineering

in the IPTA is decreasing and was dominated by female. The ratio of male and

female is balanced.

Although there is fact that number of male in this country is less than

female can be considered as the factor of extinction of male in the IPTA, but

there are also other reason that related to this problem. The number of male in

social problem is small compare to the number of people in this country which

is 26 billion.

In addition, the people opinion about female should have the career that

can spend much time with family and children can be the reason why there are

many female students in the IPTA. Therefore, many female student studies hard

to get the placed in the university so that they could have the job that is more to

academic like teachers, doctors, pharmacist and others.

The extinction of male students in IPTA should be aware by all the

people in this country. This is because it can give many bad effects to our

country if it is not solved immediately. There are long time effect and short time

effect that caused by this phenomenon.

24

One of the effects is the worker in this country will be dominated by

female and the male will stay at home. Although we know that number of

unemployed graduated female is more than male, but if there is no male in that

field the company do not have any choice to hire the female as their staff. If the

women be the workers, there will be lots of problem. Women cannot hold an

organization because she will be affected by emotion according to the

physiology factor of the female.

Nowadays, in government institution, there are many female workers

than male workers. Almost 70% of the workers in some professions like

teachers are female and the rest are male. This phenomenon is bad because it

can give bad effect to the government institution in the future. According to the

physiology and psychology of female, there are a lot of problem that women

will faced that prevent them to work. Such problems are, when they pregnant,

they will not able to do hard work because they will be feeling not well.

Besides, during giving birth, they need longer break about two month in order

to be healthy again. So, there will be many works that hesitate in the office and

the process will be unmoved.

In addition, many people said that they are easier to work with man

because they are more creative and flexible. Besides, they also not too rigid

with the rules that will make some works need longer time to be finished.

Therefore, when doing business with man, the work will finish in a short time.

25

Besides that, the effect can be seen in the school that the discipline

problems increase due to the less male teachers in the school. The students do

not feel afraid of the female teachers because they thought that female teacher

cannot do anything to them. They feel that female teachers are weak. Therefore,

they can break the rule easily in school. If there are male students in the school,

they will be afraid to do bad things.

Besides that, if the numbers of male and female teachers in school are

balanced, the education institution will be more efficient. This is because the

productivity of male and female teachers is difference as same as the impact.

That is why when they work together the institution of education will be

excellent.

There are academicians said that this phenomenon has been happened in

all around the world and cannot be avoided and should be worried. But, there

are also a few people said that this phenomenon is new in these last two decade

and not good for the future because the effect are not understand enough by the

people. This problem has been debated among the people in this country. In the

debates, the male participant and academician give the opposites opinion based

on their emotional and their gender. The male participants look worried about

this problem but the female participants defend that this problem should be

worried.

26

This problem should be discussed in the right way. The people should

open their mind when discussing about this problem because it includes the fate

of our future generation. This includes the problem to find the right future

husband that has the same level of academics, the role of wife and husband in

family institution, the happiness of the family and the married-divorce problem.

All this thing could be the big problem if the extinction of male students in the

IPTA did not solved quickly. The people cannot be emotional in discussing this

problem according to gender because in the family, there will be boys and girls

as the children. Their futures are the important thing to be thought.

In a family, men as a father should be the leader of the family who is

strong and great in everything. The succession of someone is based on the

certificates that he or she gets. So if the performances of female are better than

male, it will make a new problem. The phenomenon useless and powerless

husband will appear. When the job of the wife is higher than the husband, the

husband will feel powerless to talk much or to train the wife to be the better

person. So that, the family institution will unhappy.

In the big city, there are many women said that it is hard to find the right

guy as their husband. So that, they are not married until there are old. The total

of these kinds of people is high nowadays. We know that this phenomenon is

not good and the effect will be not normal in the generation. For example, the

number of future generation will be decrease and the number of old folks will

27

be increase. In the next generation there will be only old folk and there are less

young generation who can lead the country.

The lecturer of the education and psychology counselling department of

UM, Prof, Madya Dr. Haslee Sharil Abdullah said that the number of female is

more than male in IPTA showed many questions and implications. He said that,

the answer to the question must be sought from the empirical research in macro.

The product of the research can answer the question why female more than

male in IPTA and be the basic information in designing the intervention

programme to balance the gender.

He also said that, many women give their good works in productivity of

economy in filling the job at many level and sector. But, if this problem was not

overcome quickly, it will give other bad implication to the future of our country.

Therefore, to overcome the imbalanced gender in IPTA, the male should aware

and try to change their habits to fight with great things of female.

The less number of male workers can be overcome by any ways. Firstly,

the hiring system should not base on computer which only looked in academic

performance only. The system should be change into the system that can test the

candidates in many ways. The interview session can be done in order to see the

skills and other aspects of workers that needed by the company. By this way,

the ratio of gender will be balance because we believe that many males in this

country are applicable.

28

The male students who are taking certificates and diploma level can

increase the level of performance by studying level by level. Although it takes

longer time compare to ordinary way, it is not too late to fight and being at the

same level with female.

Besides, the male at the first degree level should strengthen their

economy by doing other job like involving in entrepreneur. They can open a

shop or try to do online selling to get much money. In other words, he should

maintain the source of economy in order to married and have own family. The

women nowadays want to find the men with strong source of economy as their

husband in order to have the guaranteed life in the future. Either agrees or not,

the life nowadays and in the future needs lots of money to be used in all

activities as a human being.

Other way to overcome this problem is, to increase the education in

technique and vocational field. If male students do not interested in sciences

field, then they can enter the institution that they interested. Maybe, in the field

that they interested like in technical and vocational, they can be succeeding

well. They will also learn about skills that suitable with their interest.

There many bad thing that has been said about the missing of male

students in IPTA. Such things are, they are many in rehabilitation centre, in jail

and others. We cannot change about what happen to these kinds of people. But,

we should do something that can help to make the little group that are

29

applicable to enter the IPTA and other education institution to be the role model

for the others. The a few male students in the IPTA should active to be the

leader in some organization.

There is the bad attitude about the male students in IPTA that is to be the

backbenchers. Backbenchers are the people who like to sit at the back during

the lectures or classes. Although they come to the class early, they will sit at the

back too. They will sit at as back as they can. The reasons why the sit at the

back are at the back they can sleep, do not being ask, and they can easily get out

from the classes.

Although there are some backbenchers success in education and obtain

best result, but the majority of them always get the medium result only or the

worst they will get failed. Sometimes, the knowledge that given by the lecturers

is not received due to the voice cannot be heard, the distance is very far. They

also do not ask questions if they do not understand. Therefore they will always

left behind and cannot be excellent in the exam.

The rate of decreasing of male students in IPTA is very fast from year to

year. Dr. Azahari suggested that, a new special organization should be built at

the national level in order to experiment and to find the solution to this

phenomenon. According to him, this is not the effort to develop the women, but

the important is to make sure that male students will not decrease and give

negative effects to the country.

30

There is people said that the application to the IPTA using the

system that based on the merit is one of the reasons why many male students

not applicable to study in IPTA. Although there is suggestion to use the quota

system to increase the number of male in IPTA, but that is not the best way to

solve this problem. The success of female should make the male students to

study harder to fight in the right way.

Although the number of male students is less than female students in the

IPTA, the government does not agree with the suggestion to set the quota for

undergraduate entry that would enable more male students to enter university to

overcome the gender imbalance of undergraduate entry. Other efforts have been

done to create awareness among male students on IPTA entry through

educational programme, seminars and forum, exhibition and outreach

programme.

During secondary school, female students outperform male students

resulting in more female students getting a place in the undergraduate studies in

the IPTA. There is suggestion to change the examination-oriented curriculum to

a more coursework based curriculum. Besides, the overall performance is more

important to be looked at rather than just academic when choosing students.

Hopefully the condition for IPTA entry that is 90% academic achievement and

10% co-curriculum could overcome the gender imbalance in the IPTA.

31

Conclusion

This issue should be worried by all the people in this country especially

the men because men should be the leader in everything. So, they need to be

motivated to fight with the success of the women. As the leader, the men should

be more powerful and great than the women. A woman as we all know is weak

and need male to help and guard.

Although it is not wrong for the women to be the leader, but the best

person are men. There are some countries that lead by woman as the prime

minister. The men should feel ashamed that being rule by women who are

weaker than them. Luckily, it is not happen in our country. But, the programme

to increase the number of male in IPTA and other institution must be done in

order to have the better leader in the future.

In Islam, men should be the leader to the women. They should show the

right way to the women and teach them to be the kind person in all aspects. In a

family, the husband or father is responsible to teach his wife and children to be

the better person in order to have the happiness in the family. He also needs to

have much knowledge about religion, and the way of life in this world. Male

have many advantages than female. The failed in lead the family will make the

family become damaged. This also can lead to the social problem among the

teenagers. The husband did not have the power to teach his wife to be kind and

to teach his children to avoid any social problem.

32

In this problem, the husband should not be low self esteem, because as

the husband and the leader of the family, he has the power to teach his family in

order to be the kind and live as the right Muslims. Therefore, men as the leader

of the family should increase their effort in order to have higher level of

education than the women in order for the family have respect.

The extinction of male student in the universities is the important

problem that must be solved by the government. In UKM, the percentage of the

female students is 70 % and the male students are 30 % in 2007. If in 2007, the

ratio in like this, what will happen in 2020? Are there any male students in the

IPTA?

Nowadays, there are many other placed that can be studied by the male

students like in Polytechnics KPTM. It is one of the IPTA that was built to born

a half professional graduated student in engineering, economy, hospitality and

fashion. There are certificates and diploma level can be obtained in this

institution that could help in government and non-government sector. There are

20 Polytechnics in this country that could give the place for the male students

who are interested in technical field. Therefore, there is still place for the male

students to study although they cannot have the place in the university.

33

Figure 1

Figure 1 above show the illustration about the scenario that will happen

if the wife goes to work and the men leave at home to take care of the child. In

Islam, this kind of scenario is bad because the man as the husband should work

to find the money for the family. It is also wrong for the man to just stay at

home and wait for his wife to work to get money in order to but the living

needs. Besides, in the al-Quran and Hadith there is mentions that the man

responsible for giving the maintenance cost of living.

34

Figure 2

In the above picture (Figure 2), we can see that there are many female

students registering to the IPTA. There are a few male students can be seen in

the picture. The same phenomenon had happened in all university. So we can

conclude that there are more female students than male students in IPTA.

35

Figure 3

The above picture (Figure 3) was taken at 14th College of UPM on the

first day of registration. There are a lot of people can be seen in the picture and

most of them are female. The same thing can be seen in the figure 4 which is

female students are more than male students.
