- External factors for boys underachievement in education
- poor literacy
- research shows boys are more likely to underachieve due to poor literacy and language skills
- may me due to parents spending less time reading to boys. usually mothers jobs so seen as feminine activity
- this affects performance in a wide range of subjects
- Decline of male jobs
- since 80's theres been a decline in traditional male jobs such as mining
- led to a crisis in masculinity. believe they have little chance of getting a proper job
- give up trying to get qualifications
- poor literacy
