The paper focuses on students’
achievement and attitudes to school,
as well as behaviours, how those aspects
of learning are related for boys and girls,
and the influences that shape different
outcomes for boys and girls.
Consideration is also given to the
broader social development of boys and
how schools contribute to that
development. Each of these perspectives
is important to understanding the
development of boys through schooling
and the difference in educational
outcomes for boys and girls.
Research from the ACER program, and a
range of other research in Australia and
overseas, has highlighted important
differences in educational outcomes for
girls and boys. At primary level boys (on
average) have significantly lower levels of
achievement in literacy than their female
counterparts. In mathematics there
appears to be no significant difference
in the achievement of boys and girls at
either primary school or early secondary
school. In fact, on the basis of international studies in which ACER has
participated, Australia appears to be
one of the few countries in which the
difference between boys and girls in
mathematics achievement is negligible.
In most countries, the achievement of
boys in mathematics is higher than that
of girls. At secondary school level boys
are more likely than girls to leave school
before completing Year 12, and average
scores on end-of-school assessments are
lower for boys than for girls. In the final
years of secondary school, differences
between girls and boys in subject choice
still appear to follow patterns established
over past years.
