Life in the UK Test 37
On average, boys leave school with better qualifications than girls.
Correct Answer: False
False. In the UK, on average, girls leave school with better qualifications than boys. Girls consistently outperform boys at GCSE and A-level examinations. This gender attainment gap has been a well-documented feature of the British education system for several decades.
The reasons for this gap are debated, but factors identified by researchers include differences in approaches to study, reading habits and classroom engagement. Girls are also more likely than boys to go on to higher education, and make up the majority of university students in the UK.
