Australia: Boys Education Becomes Priority

Story here.

I believe the U.S is woefully behind other nations when it comes to the educational needs of boys. When searching for articles regarding boys/education, I find very few from the States. It seems England, and now Australia might be the nations that start a needed revolution to educate our sons. I wonder what Australian feminist Germaine Greer thinks of this new educational initiative?

"A $19.4 million Australian Government initiative called Success For Boys aims to change all that in 1600 schools by 2008 - and four schools in the NSW Blue Mountains will be among the first to implement it."

"Success For Boys works on a number of fronts, including teachers' professional development, producing and sharing successful teaching and assessment strategies to take more advantage of boys' interests and strengths and developing male mentoring systems"
