Girl power

2003-09-17 19:42:27.555428+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

In developed countries, girls do better academically than boys, and now have higher expectations.

International education figures, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, show a consistent picture, across cultures and continents, of women achieving better results than men.

The OECD survey is a detailed comparison of education achievement and spending in 43 developed countries.

I wish there were more detail about sources in that article, I poked around the OECD and only found this press release about literacy results from the Programme For International Student Assessment for summaries.
