About This Podcast

Boys vs School is an audio documentary that investigates one of the most urgent and overlooked problems in modern education: why working class boys are falling behind. In conversation with host Stephen Mullan, educators, researchers and boys unpack the dynamics of a system where working class boys are more likely to be excluded, underachieve, and disengage. The series explores the roots of this crisis and asks what it will take to help boys not just survive school, but thrive.
