The bar chart illustrates the proportion of girls and boys who were successful in their high school competency exams in the period from 2010 to 2011, according to subject.
Overall, girls performed better in almost all subjects in the competency exams than boys. However, students of both sexes performed best in Computer Science, Mathematics and Foreign Languages compared to other subjects. Results for boys and girls were roughly differentiated in Chemistry.
Regarding Computer Science, the highest proportion of girls became successful, with a pass rate of 56. 3%, compared to just 42. 1% for boys. This is closely followed by 30. 2% of girls who passed Chemistry, which contrasted with a lower figure of only 14. 1% for boys.
The percentage of both sexes who passes in Physics, Foreign Languages and Mathematics was very similar, only one to two percent difference between two groups (Two percent difference in Physics and one percent for the other two subjects). The subject, in which a greater proportion of boys showed more success than girls, was Geography, (about 43% ).
