Should education policy change to help boys achieve more?

As the spotlight of concern falls on boys' failing academic achievement behind girls, are we repeating the mistakes of the past by trying to bias education policy too much in favour of one gender or the other with every new generation.

Jenni talks to Gary Wilson, the country's first full time educationalist whose job is to raise boys' achievement and Monica Galt Headteacher, King's Road Primary School in Old Trafford.
