Issue 21 looks at the challenges the Education For All agenda faces with regard to masculinities, men and boys. It aims to set concern with boys’ experiences of exclusion from school within a wider context of discussing gender equality in education. Articles explore some of the pressures on boys to perform in particular ways, and how this affects their individual experiences of school. They also highlight the ways in which, by embracing softer, more caring forms of masculinity, men and boys can support gender equitable education for girls and boys.
