A British government minister’s call for more male teachers in schools referenced a Catholic school as an example.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, a Catholic, made a stir speaking about the Netflix television show Adolescence, which is about a 13-year-old schoolboy arrested for the murder of a girl in his school.
The television series focuses on the use of social media and bullying in schools, promptind debate about how the lack of male role models is affecting boys today.
“It’s clear the behaviour of boys, their influences, and the young men they become, is a defining issue of our time,” said Ms Phillipson, who was educated at St Robert of Newminster Catholic School in Washinton, Tyne and Wear.
