Abstract
A new international peer-reviewed study has concluded that over the last century, girls have always outperformed boys to get higher grades in school. The findings, published in the American Psychological Association’s Psychological Bulletin, reveal that the recent focus on a “boy crisis” in scholastic achievement is not based in historical data. Female students obtain equal or higher school marks in a broad range of studies, including language, math and science. This also dispels the myth that female students only excel at the arts and social sciences. The gap in grades is simply greater in these subjects.
