Yeah about that: "Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study. An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability. Researchers suggest girls are better behaved in class and this influences how teachers perceive their work. Differences in school results can sometimes "have little to do with ability", says the study. Teachers are said to reward "organisational skills, good behaviour and compliance" rather than objectively marking pupils' work. The findings suggested that teachers needed to be aware of "gender bias"." https://www.bbc.com/news/education-31751672 https://www.bbc.com/news/education-31751672
