briefing for Hill staffers and coalition partners. <SPAN

boys’ crisis, and proves once and for all that AAUW's efforts to help girls
don't come at boys' expense.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Indeed, by most indicators of educational achievement, both boys and
girls have made solid gains in recent decades.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Nevertheless, our work is far from
complete, as many girls and boys are emerging from our educational system
without the skills that they need to succeed in the 21st century workplace.
