Boys' underachievement in education has now become a global
concern, taxing the minds of governments across the Western world.
Boys and Schooling in the Early Years represents the first major
study of its kind to focus specifically on young boys and
achievement. It makes a powerful argument for the need to begin
tackling the problem of boys' lower educational performance in the
early years.
This book includes one of the most detailed and up-to-date
analyses of national evidence regarding gender differences in
educational achievement - from the early years through to the end
of compulsory schooling. Together with original and in-depth case
studies that vividly capture the differing experiences and
perspectives of 5-6 year old boys, the book sets out the nature of
the problems facing them in education and highlights a number of
practical ways in which these issues can begin to be addressed.
This is essential reading for all those working in the early
years, who are concerned about boys' lower levels of achievement,
and want to know what they can do about it.
