Why are schools getting an ‘F’ when it comes to educating boys? Government statistics have revealed a troubling gender gap in our educational system for decades. So why is nothing being done?
In this episode of The Problem With Men Podcast, we look at some of the reasons why boys fall behind in school and identify potential gender bias that discourages them from continuing their education.
We're joined for this episode by a range of educational experts;
- Gary Wilson is a former teacher, educational consultant and author of several books about boys achievement.
- Mark Roberts is a head of research, English teacher and author of two books about educating boys.
- Mary Curnock Cook is the former head of UCAS; and sits on the board of several educational companies.
- Professor Gijsbert Stoet is a professor of psychology at the University of Essex.
- Dan Bell is the CEO of the men and boys coalition
