Large NGO's spend large sums of money only on literacy for girls. If you total spending per pupil in many of these coutries from the government, plus the NGO's, and NGO's that spend only on girls education. Girl pupils recieve more funding than boy pupils. There is the cavet that some girls are not allowed to attend school but many boys are not attending as well. This is something that needs more study. Still there are not many NGO's that focus only on boys or men. The fact remains there is not parity between boys and girls in literacy in SE asia is a troubling sign.

We at one time had parity between boys and girls in the US in reading proficiencty. Boys are falling behind, in reading proficiency is a growing problem. Still we can't even get a White House Commision on boys and men(but there is on for women and girls), even as the President says men need to "step up" and "feel pressure".
