You shouldn't even push schools to have more diversified students. Different people have different interest and this "it is all social construct" is silly.

When I say push, I don't mean that a school should limit who it accepts to try and fit a quota, but I mean to try and get recruiters to get those that shy away from a field to consider it.

Say IT and Nursing.

Nursing is dominated by females. I know many nurses and they would love more men in the field. Men are able to help them with lifting heavier stuff, patient moving, stuff on high places, ect. But nursing is not seen as a "manly" job.

IT is the same. It now is seen more as a nerdy male job versus it used to be seen as a female job.

Schools/society/ect need to do their best to try and not "label" jobs as for certain people. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. Too much money is made on labeling people into groups.

Scouting should be done for the best independent of where they are or how they look. So that is all the school should do.
