Gender education is an oft-debated topic in education. However, research strongly indicates a disparity in reading achievement between boys and girls. Girls have been shown to be less likely than boys to drop out, get lower grades or be retained. It has been suggested that while reforms were put in place in the 1990s to remove girls’ barriers to success, boys’ underperformance has not been adequately addressed. Possible reasons for this run the gamut from the influence of social roles and stereotypes, to left-brain / right-brain theories. This, along with the fact that boys and girls generally have different learning styles and preferences, helps to make a case for the introduction of classrooms that are specifically tailored to the very different needs of boys and girls. We have created specific learning environments to implement gender education.
