TY - GEN AU - Näslund-Hadley, Emma AU - Alonzo, Haydée TI - CIMA Brief #26: Gender and Learning: Understanding Skill Gaps in Primary Education PY - 2024 Y1 - 2024/07/19 DO - 10.18235/0013083 AB - The gender-based achievement gap in mathematics tends to widen in favor of boys as students advance through their educational journey, evidenced by comparing data from 3rd and 6th grade in primary education. Conversely, the gender achievement gap favoring girls in language typically decreases between 3rd and 6th grade in most countries. While gender significantly explains the achievement gaps in mathematics, it does not consistently account for gaps in language and science. UR - https://doi.org/10.18235/0013083 ER -
