IBPS Po - Prelims 2016 Paper

The passage discusses a report by the OECD that finds boys are falling behind girls in reading achievement in schools across developed countries. While boys still do slightly better than girls in math, the gap in reading has widened significantly, with girls now averaging a full year ahead of boys. Various factors may contribute to this gender gap, including less time spent by boys on homework, a greater disdain for school among boys, and potential biases by teachers who give higher marks to girls for good behavior. Policymakers are concerned about this "boy crisis" and are seeking ways to improve boys' educational outcomes and engagement in school.

to
steer boys away fi'om a version of masculinity that
ignores
academic achievement.
Boys' disdain for school might have been less irrationar
when there were plenfy ofjobs for uneducated
men. But
those days have long gone. It may be that a bit of

(though it sometirnes extends to derusion: r2o/o
of boys
told the OECD that they are famirar with the mathematicar
concept of "subjunctive scarihg", ? red hen.ing
that fooled
only 7o/o of girls). But their rack of serf-disciprine
drives

Until the 1960s boys spent ronger and went further in

school than girls, and were more likely to graduate


from
university. Now, across the rich worrd unJin a gror.ving

the other
rvay. Policymakers who once fretted about girrs,
rack of
confidence in science now spend their time dangling
coupies of "Harry Potter" before surly boys. Sweden
has
commissioned research into its "boy crisisi'. Australia
has

devised a reading programme called ,,Boys, Blokes,


Books
& Byes". In just a couple of generations, one gender gap
has closed, only for another to open up.
The reversal is raid out in a report published on
March
5th by the oECD, a paris-based rich-country think-tank.

To see why boys and girls fare so differently in
the
classroom, first look at what they do outside it. The
