Men Never Come Out As Best Graduating Student Or With First Class - Nancy Nwabughiogu

A recent blog post celebrated a remarkable 19-year-old woman who emerged as the best graduating student of her faculty, dubbing her a “Beauty with Brains!” However, a comment on the post took a different angle, stating, “It is always the ladies emerging best graduating student and coming out with first class,” suggesting that her achievement was less significant because she is female.

Such comments undermine the hard work and dedication that female students put into their studies. Instead of making unnecessary comparisons between genders, we should celebrate individual accomplishments. Recognizing the achievements of women in academia inspires others and fosters a culture of support and encouragement, which is essential for creating a more equitable educational environment.
