For the second year in-depth analysis of all Island GCSE or equivalent qualifications has been carried out and made public, with like-for-like comparisons being made with the previous year and with England.
And according to the report, which was compiled by the Education Department, nearly two-thirds of girls (64.2%) achieved five A* to C GCSE grades including English and maths, compared to just over half (50.6%) of boys.
In comparison to the 14 per cent gap, in 2014 the difference between girls and boys was seven per cent.
