As can be seen, students of both sexes performed best in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages. Results for boys and girls were roughly the same in Computer Science and Mathematics. In other subjects, however, there were some significant differences.
Girls achieved by far their best results in Computer Science, with a pass rate of 56. 3%, which was around 14% higher than the boys. The difference was even greater in Chemistry, where over than 16% more girls passed. The only subject where boys’ results were better than girls was Geography where they achieved a pass rate of 30. 4%, which was 10% higher than the result for girls.
