The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines what students know in reading, mathematics and science, and what they can do with what they know. It provides the most comprehensive and rigorous international assessment of student learning outcomes to date. Results from PISA indicate the quality and equity of learning outcomes attained around the world, and allow educators and policy makers to learn from the policies and practices applied in other countries. This is one of six volumes that present the results of the PISA 2018 survey, the seventh round of the triennial assessment. Volume II, Where All Students Can Succeed, examines gender differences in student performance, and the links between students’ socio-economic status and immigrant background, on the one hand, and student performance and well-being, on the other.
Girls’ and boys’ performance in PISA
This chapter analyses performance differences between boys and girls in the three core PISA subjects – reading, mathematics and science – in 2018. It identifies those countries where these disparities shrank over the past decade. It also discusses the variations in performance amongst boys and girls, and their relationship with students’ socio-economic status.
