'Young men are being drawn to toxic masculinity because schools are not “boy-positive”, a report has claimed.
Research by the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) has found men are being left behind in society because they underachieve at school.
It estimated that about half a million men have missed out on higher education in the past decade.
The report warns of the risk that these “undereducated men” will be driven towards “political extremes” if male underachievement in schools is not resolved.
It comes as the Netflix series Adolescence receives critical acclaim for its plot, which centres on a boy, 13, who is arrested for stabbing a teenage girl after being “indoctrinated” by misogynist influencers.'
