Rose tinted glasses for the 80s in abundance here. What if boys are fine? What if girls are just doing better? I can tell you bei g a girl in the 80s wasn't so flash.
Knocked up and abandoned at 16? Too bad, no school.
Dad or mum hurt themselves? You need to stay home and look after them.
Did well in school cert or 6th form? Good news, off to nursing school.
Not at all, I think girls should have all the opportunity to have; and more. But the stats are clear we are failing to educate boys in a major way.
Education is not a zero sum game, everyone can do well. The better everyone does, the better society does.
There is literally no good outcome from having one section of society that is under educated.
