Future Wilfried Bos calls for a balanced relationship between gender roles - women shy away from the career
Jessica Chmura
QUESTION: Mr Bos, the Education Action Council criticized a "blatant minority participation of boys in higher forms of educational activity. Have the girls, the boys hung in the school?
BOS : The girls have overtaken boys definitely. Still, the boys slight advantage in math and science, but in German and read the girls are clearly far ahead.
QUESTION: what's going on?
BOS I mean, that about is the disadvantage of boys in reading this does, that the issues do not simply take their interests. You want to get to yes. But boys are performance-oriented and interested in more rather than competition for relationship articles, as they are often read in school. These issues are contrary to the girls. Would the other hand, chemistry classes are declared using cosmetics, it would be interesting for the girls.
QUESTION: So should the school be reformed?
BOS : school is the way it is now organized, not necessarily something for boys. They generally show more behavior problems fight, and run around like, and developmental psychology comes to that boys more difficult to sit quietly for a long time. The girl, the better.
QUESTION: actually less bars boys, and girls are valued simply better?
BOS : Boys do less often. But when do boys and girls match, the girls are better evaluated.
QUESTION: performance orientation is men's business, make something for women - this sounds like a pretty superficial role division ...
BOS : Similarly, unfortunately. Of course it would be nice if we had a balanced relationship between gender roles. The women are indeed more powerful in the school, are well trained and work to the study into very motivated - but they deny the career. They trust are generally less than they can, leaving the less qualified men go first. Others think of their family role and do prefer to look after their children instead of making career.
QUESTION: have overlooked educational policy makers on the deficiencies of the school boys for years?
BOS : They had in the past 30 years, a very one-sided view. In the discussion about discrimination against women, the disadvantaged boys fit just not into it.
QUESTION: Is it place at the time, focus efforts on the promotion of the boys - as a "Future"?
BOS : From those special days I do not believe. Apparently the education system is not so much on the needs and interests of boys, and has lost sight of it was just not in vogue. But it is also a general fault in the system. You'd have to get more men into the nursery and primary schools, that fails often at low pay. Men will find practical do not and are missing - even if only the mother at home takes on the education and works of the Father, and in kindergarten and primary school only women are responsible for the training. Again, a balanced relationship between gender roles would be desirable.
QUESTION: work have the disadvantages, the boys at school because of not on their professional career?
BOS : Rather less. That in which the boys remain at school or similar, in their professional life again. A man does not ask first if he can master the task, but it just kind of done. Well-educated women, in contrast to pull back as quickly. For the community it is not good, if often make less well-trained male career. But that's where the economy, the poorer but more willing men.
QUESTION: ask so more women in leadership positions?
BOS : Women are well trained to trust leadership positions, but despite great marks not. This is bad for society, because women thus deprive their skills to social benefit.
