Boys Will Be Boys: A Critical Analysis of the Educational Gender Gap

Is there gender equality in the American education system? If so, what can you do to eliminate sex? Is it even possible to really eliminate gender differences? When someone is asked about gender inequality, that reaction usually points to the disadvantage that women suffer in patriarchal society. Even in the field of education, some people think that women are behind men because of less educational opportunities.

The educational difference between boys and girls has changed greatly, but there are still some problems related to us, such as gender disparities. Gender disparity is the difference between male and female achievement. In recent years, there is growing concern about the widening of disparities between men and women. By the age of five, 53% of boys had achieved the expected level of sentences, while 72% of girls achieved it. Then, their academic achievement at GCSE is not high, and many people will not go on to university. Even if you are there, they will never reach 2: 1 or the first time (Asthana, A 2010)

Someone should notice that boys are behind. The university gap is a realistic and dangerous trend. However, as girls overtook boys with such criticisms, gender activists from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, AAUW, Wellesley Center, and Foundation chose to announce the "short-lived girls" crisis. In the next few years, the gender gap of university admission rate continues to expand, but the attention of American citizens and the government is focused on the country's "girls with inappropriate service".

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate gender difference, especially low literacy ability of boys, and to investigate whether the school has a specific strategy to improve male capacity. Because the gender disparity is so great, I have chosen the literature to review a wide range of theorists and existing research literature. Specifically, I would like to identify proposals made with some of the reasons proposed for boys' low performance.
