Read Here: International Literature Review on Boys’ Education: Readers’ Guide

‍

This Readers' Guide sets out the rationale, conceptual framework and the data sources that underpin the full literature review on boys' education in high-income countries.  

The review draws on peer-reviewed research, national assessment data and international largescale student assessments across high-income economies spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America . It is structured as three linked reports, published iteratively:

Part I

Part I of this review examines gender differences in education outcomes across three interconnected domains: cognitive outcomes, non-cognitive outcomes and attainment outcomes. This can be found here.

Part II

Part II examines the contextual factors that shape these outcomes, including social norms, education system design, socioeconomic factors and developmental patterns, and the policy levers that can influence them.

Part III

Part III investigates the drivers of student learning closest to boys’ day-to-day experience of schooling, including the classroom environment, family and home, wellbeing and engagement, as well as what policy can do to influence them.
