Around the world, higher education communities are overwhelmed by frequent attacks on scholars, students, staff, and their institutions. State and non-state actors, including armed militant and extremist groups, police and military forces, government authorities, off-campus groups, and even members of higher education communities, among others, carry out these attacks, which often result in deaths, injuries, and deprivations of liberty.

The objectives of this study are to:

• •understand why boys have been underperforming in education over the past few years
• analyse factors (including economic, societal, and cultural) that are causing the trend of poor performance and low survival rates at higher levels of education
• •describe current policies and interventions in place to address the issue
