Episode Details

Boys in Quebec and across Canada are falling behind in school, with higher dropout rates, lower test scores, and increased learning disabilities. This systemic issue, highlighted by economist Catherine Haeck, is linked to traditional teaching methods that dont suit many boys learning styles. Parents and teachers are concerned about boys feeling alienated and losing interest early on. Despite pushback due to ongoing gender gaps in employment and pay, advocates argue that helping boys wont hinder girls progress. New data reveals that Canada is missing out on over sixty-five thousand male graduates annually and that young mens mental health has deteriorated. Schools must adapt with more physical education, hands-on activities, and potentially more male teachers to engage boys and prevent them from turning to risky online alternatives. Addressing this issue early on benefits everyone, from mental health to the economy.
