Education is mostly filled with women.

Otherwise women aren't inclined to throw away their life for their job.

-- EDIT --

Sorry, was on mobile.

What I wanted to say is.

Normally, women aren't as fond as men to invest a big bunch of their life into their job. They have the skills, but realize they don't want to work 100h a week to get to the top, when 30h are more than enough to make enough money AND have freetime. They control their work life ballance much better than most men.

If you now see that >90% of people working in the education sector are women, it isn't surprising that they have more women with burnout. The more women a sector has, the more of women with burnout they have.
