Britain's schools are failing to help boys who under perform at school out of fear it will be ridiculed by feminist and gender equality groups, ex-UCAS chief has warned. Ms Curnock Cook told the newspaper: 'I just find it unacceptable to think that it's OK to let boys fall further and further behind in education and allow the gap to get bigger.' She said: 'In about ten years' time the gap between boys and girls will be worse than rich and poor. The new higher education regulator received praise from Ms Curnock Cook, for beginning to address the under representation of white working class boys. The Men and Boys Coalition will convene on Monday where Ms Curnock Cook will address the group of 80 organisations, charities and academics.
