Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world In England, Wales and Northern Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed 2 years later by
A (Advanced) levels Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving Certificate One particular worry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared Boys scored better in exams, so various measures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl-only classes Now, the situation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which
has its roots in society rather than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a
good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they
hide with a show of bravado They’re uncertain about their place in society Some boys grow up in families
where there is no male role model to follow
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate
deadlines rather than large projects stretching into the distance And education is not seen as “cool”
As one contributor to a BBC website put it, “Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls.”
This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countries for reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries

The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives – almost entirely for the better But there’s a
byproduct to that growth, one that’s evident – or sometimes less than evident – in the smoggy, smelly skies
above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakarta Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and
getting worse in much of the world, and it’s taking a major toll on global health
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record That’s up from 800,000 in 2000 And it’s a regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in South Asia, including India For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world’s top – 10 list of killers, and it’s moving up the ranks faster than any other factor
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot – so small that it roots deep within the lungs and then enters the bloodstream – that contributes to most of the public – health toll of air pollution including death Diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers For example, 1 in 6 people in the U.S live near a diesel – pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases Fortunately in the U.S and other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner – see the White House’s move last week to further tighten soot standards It’s not perfect, but we’ve had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully – though the problem may get worse before it gets better The good news is that it doesn’t take a major technological advance to improve urban air Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants Power plants – even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal – can be fitted with pollution – control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants
But the best solutions may involve urban design In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now has
200 cars per 1,000 people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier – and that doesn’t have
to mean deadly air pollution Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher
