According to a recent survey by UNESCO in 130 countries, it was found that boys were more likely to fail and repeat their classes in primary education than girls. A report called ‘Leave No Child Behind: Global report on boys’ disengagement from education.’ The same report also revealed that around 13 crores 20 lakh boys are unable to complete their primary and middle schooling. It was also revealed that across 57 countries boy students of the ten-year age group were lacking behind immensely from girl students of the same age group. According to the report, the major reason why students are unable to complete their education is because of factors like punishment, strictness, homework and other reasons such as working to support their family etc.
