Last week official figures showed that the GCSE attainment gap between boys and girls in Jersey had doubled last year, with 14 per cent more female students gaining A* to C grades, including in English and maths, than boys.
And on Thursday another study revealed that girls were continuing to do better than boys when they went on to study A-levels and other similar sixth-form qualifications.
According to the A-level report, whereas the average grade achieved by females improved from a C+ to B- last year, the average mark achieved by males remained unchanged at a C+ – and when it came to the top grades, the results followed a similar pattern, with nearly three per cent more girls scoring three A* or A grades than boys.
