Second Sexism In Education
Sex discrimination against males also happens in education. We might call discrimination against males as the "second sexism". This kind of sexism is not taken seriously even by people who oppose sex discrimination. Second sexism in education, together with obvious sexrole stereotypes, make male students face more punishment in school than female students.

Grading bias in schools against boys
Brophy and Good (1974) reviewed studies show that male students will be considered more negative than female students by teachers, especially female teachers, in elementary school.Teachers are more likely to feel rejecting toward boys and to feel attachment for girls. For this reason, male students will more likely receive lower grade than female students. There is also a studied from Yarrow, Waxier, and Scott (1971) show that male students will receive more criticism because of their gender.

Differential treatment in education expenditure
Gender discrimination in education also exist from household discrimination. Parents may spend differently based on gender of their children which is a unequal treatment. Shaleen Khanal studied the expenditure people spent on girls and boys in Nepal. Based on his research, he found that parents spend in education expenditure, compared to boys, is 20% less on girls. The expenditure difference including spending unequally on students' fee, textbooks, school supplies like school bag, uniforms and other education expenditure. And this kind of discrimination is rising in Nepal. Also, parents in Nepal are more willing to spend more money in order to let boys to go to private school for the better education. This phenomenon is more pronounced in Nepal' s rural area, but it happened in urban areas as well.

Improvement of sex discrimination in education

Especially in some developing countries, the improvement of economic make government pay more attention on education which is helpful for increasing gender equality in education.Also, relevant law also play a important role on decreasing gender discrimination in education.

China
China used to have big issue in gender inequality in education. But the huge development in economic and society since 1980s actually became a major factor which improve the gender equality. Government have more money to invest the education system and more schools were built during these years. People including girls have more chances to have opportunities to go to school. In the studied from Zeng, Pang, Zhang, Medina and Rozelle, the inequality in education is less than 1980s. However, there is a difference in education of gender equality between urban area and rural area.

United States
In the last century, the passing of the Title IX made a significant progress in gender equality in education. The law intervenes not only decrease the sex discrimination on campus but also make female have equal opportunity as male to go to school. Before 1970s, the discrimination in admission blocked many females from school. Title IX required school admission must treat women and men equally and also decrease the society pressure put on women in education.
