For decades, the disparity in attainment and progression of young men who are eligible for Free School Meals has been significant feature of our national educational conversation. Yet, over that time, there has been very little strategic action taken to address it.

In this event Alex Blower from Boys’ Impact, will introduce the complex interplay of challenges facing young working-class men as they negotiate their identities in compulsory education. It will deepen understanding of the role of masculinity and inequality in the likelihood of young men engaging in the classroom, alongside introducing innovative approaches to meeting the challenge as educators. With practice examples from University of Sussex and University of East Anglia, along with the opportunity to develop meaningful strategies this will be a very productive session.

This event will take place from 9:30 am - 13:00 pm
