Over the coming five years, prior to the 2020 general election, we’re going to be publicly challenging many Conservative politicians over the government’s anti-male policy directions. Last October we challenged Theresa May MP over a sham of a consultation exercise relating to domestic violence, the Home Office’s implicit adoption of the long-discredited male coercion theory of domestic violence, and the state’s woeful lack of support for male victims of domestic violence.

Today we’re publicly challenging Nicky Morgan MP, Secretary of State for Education, Minister for Women & Equalities, over the failure of the state education system over almost 30 years. The failure resulted from the replacement of O Levels by GCSEs in the 1987/8 academic year which led to the education gender gap which remains with us to this day.

The letter we posted today to Ms Morgan is here. It was accompanied by two pieces by William Collins on the topic of education – The Trouble With Boys In Education and Teachers’ Unfairness To Boys.
