Dislike of reading in men has been laid since childhood. Most boys do not like to read in school, because they do not have enough male attention. The UK government believes that the shortage of male teachers has a negative impact on the development and development of the psyche of boys. Gavin Burwell, chairman of the parliament on education, said: the shortage of male teachers in primary education leads to the formation of anti-father culture.
He added that boys lag behind the girls in their development for 4 years. He believes that the introduction to the curriculum of a certain kind of literature, namely the novels Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and JRR Tolkien will improve the situation. Gavin argues that the inability of boys to read normally can affect the assimilation of other subjects. According to official data, less than 59% of adolescent boys at the age of 16 received a good grade in the final exam at the school in English, compared with 72.5% of girls.
In addition, representatives of the national education believe that it is not superfluous to introduce gender literature into primary education. From the earliest childhood, the idea that reading is not a masculine affair is placed in the minds of the boys. It's not enough who reads to his children from the dads for the night. It is possible that in future the government of England (and, perhaps, of a number of other European countries) will begin to struggle with the women's labor collective. Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Foundation, also expressed his concern about the development gap between boys and girls.
