YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBoys are now falling behind girls in every metric at school. They're more likely to be out of work than girls, and they make up 98% of the youth prison intake.
There are also 2.5 million children growing up without a father figure and this seems to be impacting boys much more than girls.
But is part of the problem that boys are being told they're the problem?
One headteacher is hoping his groundbreaking scheme of volunteer male mentors will help change that.
Gareth Barlow is joined by Chris Edwards, the headteacher behind the project, and Sky’s home affairs editor Jason Farrell, who has spent months documenting his efforts to get it off the ground.
