Time to address the growing gender gap in education throughout Canada. Today, boys are less likely to attend or graduate post secondary school. Sucide rates amongst males are the highest they have ever been and account for "75% of suicides in Canada" (Whitley, 2021).
If you are interested in reading more on this topic of concern, I have attached two articles supporting these claims.
The first article listed poses an interesting question, "how has the 'feminization' of the teaching profession played a part in the education of boys? How do new models of teaching such as the pair and share, cooperative learning and or "soft" pedagogies disadvantage boys?"
