Abstract

[Extract] Equity issues in the 1990s have mainly focused upon the 'war of the sexes' - a media-sponsored boys-versus-girls story, which has sought to position boys as the new disadvantaged group in Australian schools. A dominant perception in many of the current debates has been that girls are now 'doing better' than boys, and over the past decade most media attention, government support and research energy have concentrated on boys' educational issues as key equity matters. In particular, boys' poor literacy achievement and lack of interest and engagement in schooling have become identified as two critical issues for educators to confront and challenge.
