muhammad Amin Afghanistan
In my country I think more different than other countries.
That I know In Afghanistan usually girls are clever on study than boys.
And normally the class are mixed.
The importing thing is that. Not aloud kiss and sex in school collage University and on street.Only aloud for girls and boys say Hello and give hand.
If any girl dose sex it main she lose her future .No one ales will marred
with her just that parson first used her.
Also not aloud girl and boys go out together before engaged.If any one dose that is big shimfor that family.
usually they marred on the age of 18and 20.
however we saw different strang regime during the past 10 years.
While communism regime was on the power girls and boys had has complete freedom.
While mojuhadeen came they took 30present freedom of girls and boys including separated the girls and boys school collage university.
When the Taliban came on power unfortunately they took all freedom like as stopped the females work in office or out has house door just look after children.
And they spereted the M and F busses.

Formerly, in our feudal country, there was seperated school for girls in primary and secondary school. People thought that it was good for leading the girl pupils to their femal sex. That meant they did not need to lean much, and they had to lean more about the way to be a good wife and a good mother. After that, recognising the equal role of male and female, the seperated schools have been dismissed and the girls since then could learn whatever they want. And quickly, they proved their intelligence by being the top of the class.
In my opinion, the sex don't decide the equality of learning. The most important thing is the conception of learning. The family and the society should make pupils concept the impotance of the knowledge and give them the best way to achieve these knowledge.
aly, Tunisia
I think that to enhance performance of pupils we must make two classes for each sex. just put them in a single sex class so they can concentrate more and they forget their intersexual problems.
Saranya/Thailand
I think "family is roots of society". Boy and Girl, they have same opportunity. Family should to more take care your children. They have the best model of life that mean is the best of family.
Ariel China
No matter whether boys are better than girls or girls are better than boys, the world needs both of their intelligence.Everyone plays different roles in the world.
vicente, Spain
It`s necessary that two sex go together to the class. Becouse is better for everyone and stimulate the common living together and mutual respect
sophia china
I don't agree the same sex boys or girls
in same classes.because i were in a girl middle school in my age about tweleve.It's do harm to me and my girl classmate.
Wen wen China
In china girls get higher marks in middle school.There is not very large difference between boys and girls in university.And boys may show more talent in some aspects such as math,physics ,and so on.
In my opinion,some subjects ,on which the ability of creating is emphasized should be taken to attract boys' attention.
Susanna - Italy
In Italy I think that best results are being achived by girls, but it is just a question of "joung age".
I think that girls in general have always been told to be brave and resposnsable, and they just do what they are told.
I thain that male pupils are more allowd to be free and think, and behave like just they feel to.
I don't think it is a question of intelligence or capacity and skills, but just a matter to understand what's their best.
I think that because only those boys and girls who understand that will be the ones who will feel comfortable in any thing they will do, they will APPRECIATE their studying and they do not fell it is a thing "they have to do".
So finally it depends on the single person... Moreover the company with which anybody stays, talks and play is the one which more influeces the boy or the girl.
I don't think in general that separate sex classes can be useful or unuseful.
In my personal experience (as I was as a pupil in an only-female-class until the age of 10) I think that anyway it could be useful, only if it is done in the youngest age of school.
Thanks for the chance given to me to tell my experience.
I send all the readers my best regars!

It happens exactly the same in my country.Girls scored best results in exams.My classmates(girls)from High School are either studying or working in another country learning languages in order to improve her academic education...while the guys have left school 2 years ago and are looking for a job.
Eva, China
Having a good education is the only way to get a good job for students from poor families. So, in order to get rid of poverty, both boys and girls works hard in school. But rich students can rely on their parents to live with relish.

I don't think we are having good socialism between boys and girls as in other western countries,but we are now marching towards that in a restricted manner.once it is outrageous act that a boy comes to girls house but now the situation is quiet good.Now the parents are genuine an the youngsters should not act in a that should destroy the genuineness of the parents.To make them equal,still more freedom for the girls and they should not mishandle that freedom thats all.
hani I`m from the Lebanon
They compare well but I know nothing of the steps to be equal
Wayne Wong , Hong Kong
Admittedly,girls do better in early ages because of their maturity in mind.However, I believe boys will get back the domination in higher education,boys are less frustrated by emtion so that they can analyse the problem systematically.Though we are lazy sometimes, we can pick up the things in a short time and most importantly----we are smart :)
Natalia, Belarus
Girls do better at school than boys. They usually obtain higher marks, are more hardworking and diligent, more responsible. The problem is, in my opinion, that most of teachers are women. Boys and men in general behave in a very childish and irresponsible manner what is irritating. As if men and women changed their roles. In our society a woman can not rely on men's support. So she tries to provide herself with means of subsistence.
There should be more men-teachers in the education system. But I think, it is a responsibility problem. And a lack of good male example for boys.
Boys learn better than girls at techical departments of Universities where there are few girl-students and almost all teachers are men. So boys are not distressed if a girl has better results. For some boys, maybe, to study at a single sex only-boy classe is better.
Bonnie, Hong Kong
Boys are usually thought to be good at maths and science and girls are usually considered to be better at languages. I think they can help each other. But perhaps these are only some prejudices which are totally unfounded because my English teacher told me that girls usually outperform boys in all sorts of exams.
John Park, South Korea
Trend has long changed. Girls certainly perform better than boys in school. In Korea the number of girls is increasing rapidly compared to that of boys in college level arena. This may be because of the fact that toil needing muscle is being replaced by work with head.
I am currently studying English education in university in Korea.
Gerard, from France
In my country, just as in Britain, girls consistently outperform boys at school. But this does not translate so well in the positions each sex will occupy after school.
So I think the question is not so much "what has gone wrong with boys?", but rather "what has gone right with girls in recent years?" and "how can it go on going right with women so they eventually can occupy social positions suited to their capacities?"
Debunking the myths associated with motherhood could be one starting point, so that in schools, when they have to make their first decisions about their future, capable girls do not equate "being a mother and leading a conventional family life" with "being an accomplished woman."
In this regard, I like the recent British initiative to have some teenagers wear a costume which can make them experience some of the physical troubles associated with pregnancy. This is intended for male pupils, in an attempt to fight teenage pregnancy: educators apparently think that if boys can have an idea of what being pregnant implies, it may instill some sense of responsibility into them. But it could have some interesting side effects on the desire of girls themselves to have babies...
Qudsia from Pakistan
I think the position of women in the past being a good lesson for today's women compels the girls to be more resilient,realistic and hard-working to achieve a secure future in the society .This contributs in up lifting the position of women in many societies giving them more confidence over their abilities and performance.On the other hand the boys with the wrong concept of being over-confident , undermine the importance of early education in school ,resulting in faliure in obtaining
entry in competent colleges and universities.
Yuko Japanese
I learned that many countries students think girls are superior to boys or girls are more interested in their future than boys. However, in my country, at least, in my college, both boys and girls think of their future seriously.
By the way, talking about classroom, I suppote that there should be both boys and girls in a classroom. If you say that it is better to separate boys and girls for their concentration of studyind, I want to say that it is the result of nature growth to care about opposite sex, so we should not separate boys and girls in a classroom.

Boys do better than girls in academic exam in Korea.Typically,boys have to earn a lot of money for their family.so they need a good job and a good position in their work place.In order to do this,the boy need higher qualifactions than girls.As a result,boys study harder than girls.Unfortunately.it is difficult to get a good job for girls,except in some work areas .So after graduating high school or Uni ,most girls get married ,and they get a job. It is called "house-wife".So most girls think
if they do not succeedin their exams it does not matter because they will get married ,and will be a "house-wife".Of course, other girls do not think like this.I suggest that for succeeding in their academic exam, girls should change their minds. Also, it is necessary to change the social system and that takes many years.
Jasmin, Taiwan
Nowadays, girls in my country have the same opportunity to education as boys did in the past, so now there are competitions between males and females. However, I think maybe females pay attention to study instead of watching males.
Boys need counselling so they understand their problems with studying. However, later, when girls get boyfriends, they start to change their aim to boys. If women get married, they will plunge into the family life wholeheartedly. Therefore, girls also need counselling so they understand that their career and their life are important too, not just their families
WangTuo China
Generlly speaking,girls are better in study.but,the top students are boys.
Tina (Hong Kong, China)
Boys are always good at science; while girls are always good at arts. In Hong Kong, the top students in maths are all boys. And the top students in literature are all girls.

Well, I would say sometimes it is a bit of difficulty to make a explicit comparision between acdamic performances of boys and girls .I am going to say that in our nation, here,it depends on phaseas of the study .In my humble view,it is a special or unique trait in china that during time from elementary school to jurnior high school,under normal circumstances,gils usually out-performance their counterparts while it is opposite since the time when they commence the new studies in senior high school.As a chinese college student who of course, inescapably, used to be a witness on the scene i am capable of understanding and explaining why.And i am really excited that now i have the honour of speaking out to people who log on to this website aroung the world .
First of all, the answer to the question why in the earlt stage gils get high marks than boys.To the best of my knowledge,this is not a matter of intelligence but nature.It is undeniable that boys often spend much more time than gils in term of playing ,in particular,during the earlier phases of their studies which ,unfortunately, conflicts with when they overwhelming desire to play.
Thus,the majority school boys at this time put aside their homework whithout the least consideration , preocuppy with automobile models ,indulge in electronic games ,stem fun from playing tricks with other companions.With those mentioned above,i assure myself you have been convinced that there is no wonder why boys are not good enough to match with girls at the earlier stages with regard to acdamic performances.
Now the answer to the latter question why the acadamic performance is opposite since they gain their admissions to the senior high school.
As time goes on, boys become more and more socialised,realising that in china the diploma conferred by universitieds is equivalent to a passort to a decent job .In addition,their parents or their realtives pour pressure on them .To get a decene job in the future and most importantly to live up to their parents'expectations,they have to act .
cutting them off indulgence in playing,
then devote themselves to their studies from sun rise to sun set.Plus maybe that boys are more intelligent than girls they level with their counterparts and surpass them .
In sone sense , this is a rule in the educational circle in china .we'd better not intevente with it or we'll be sufferring.
mahil sudan
people in my country they have more than one view about this matter
but mostly they saing no equivellant
between them
Lee, Korea
Boys and girs performance is really different in my country. Generally girs have inclined to get much higher scores in primary and seconary school such as China. However, after entering high school, boys prformanc is better.
This is because of many korean's thoughts that boys are more important than girls. lots of korean families support boys too much, but girls are supported less. boys aftr secondary school must study almost all day long.
Of course, another this is owed to another reasons.
Angel, Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, segregated schools are common.We can concentrate on our studies.Some of the students study
in mixed school may concern about their
relationship with the different sex
and affect the school result.
Grace, Hong Kong
I think not only British boys are like that, Hong Kong boys are like that too. It might be due to the traditional thinking, most of the parents thought that boys should be more independent than girls, and they give a lot of pressure on their sons, since the boys cannot live under the pressure, they try to give up themselves.
Fing, Hong Kong
The time has changed.
It will be much effecient to learn as love affairs between different sex can be advoided at least in school.
sally china
In my country most of girls are out-perform than boys.Girls are more work-hard than boys,so usuall girls can get high marks,but when they go to secondery school boys are more clever than girls.so at this steps they can help each other and competitive with each other,It is good for them to improve themselves.Futhermore,I think teacher should more attention to boys, because they always like play.so maybe put girls and boys in the same class ,Girls could be effect boys to study.This is just my opinion.Do you agree with me?
Yuxia Zhao ,China
In my hometown ,there isnot single sex school. so I realy donot know about single sex school,but in my opinion I would to say mixed school is better than single sex school.
First,boys and girls work together can devolop their skill of communication,on the other hand ,they will become a good co-operater in the future . so it is very useful for them.
Gina/CChina
In my country ,girls always out-perform boys in primary school and secondry school.when they go to high school some boys out perform girls.on the other hand
girls like reading and writting ,so their knolegeis wild,but boys like difficle subject.so they can help each other in same school.
LI CHINA
In my country,normally girls out-preform boys at primary school and secondary school,they get more score in exam,but when they go to high school,boys do better than girls,especially in science subjects.I think both boys and girls have advantage in studing.That because natrual consist and treatment.In china, people normally think as a girl,you should be quiet,polite,behaviour,ect more than boys.So most girls are very good at language and other remembering subject.However boys are nauty,they like playing various games.Therefore,they develop their imagination through playing.So they are good at science and practic subject.
In conclution,I think boys and girls are equel at both ability and EQ.Futhermore we should encourage girls when they were children.

BO LI , Chinese
Due to genetic fingerprint, girls are more patient and quieter than boys,so they can stick themself on the desk longer than boys. The same situation are happening in my country.Girls usually are the highest score winner at school.TO cope with this, on way I think we should give boys more encouragement at anytime ,to motivate them,to make them unwilling to be left behind other girls.
Wang Yuan China
In my country,There are a law:boys and girls be taken so both are equal. I think this is very good thing. different steps with boys or girls are different;boys show of bravado, and girls carefully.boys like alive and girls like quitly,so at mixed school really for pleasure
jane China
In my opinion,I would agree that boys and girls should study at a co-education school,because i think that there are more chellenge between them,anyway,they can have same chance to help each other,in general,girls are better than boys in an exam,because girls always much more concerntrate on their study,it's not too bad,when boys find that they have been fellowing the girls,sometimes they have no choice but study harder,then they can keep up with the girls,it's good for both of them!
Nathalie, France
Girls have understood they need to study to find a job. They think about their future. Concerning boys, I agree with the idea that there is a real problem in our societies and that they are uncertain about their place in the it.
Hye-mi from S.Korea
In S.Korea, it's obvious that girl's are out-performing boys. It's a shame to say this. Some 10~20 years ago, the chance to get an education was not equal between girls and boys. And today we can't say it's totally equal, but the situation is much better. I believe, at least in Korea, in the future many more girls will achieve high and important jobs as time goes by. The only problem is that even though girls out perform boys in school, or univ. there are fewer chances to get a good job, or even a job that suits their ability. We should try harder to create gender-equality in business.
Padam Bhatt, India.
The outstanding perfomance shown by girls is really a good but continuously is a problem. To be superior but not always, better in randomly. I think there is cause about this: Girls are more serious and unsecure about future. They want a secure and settled future in comparision of boys. Secure future is main concern. The social structure is behind this not the brain.
Yan CHEN, China
Generally,im my country, boys and girls performe differently during different phases of study. Girls inclined to have much higher scores in primary and secondary schools. Then after that,entering high school, boys performe better.
This, I believe, is because girls are more compliant and intended to be good ones of parents and teachers.This guarantees their generally good performance during early study. While early study requires mainly memorizing and excercising. So that's not suprising that girls earn higher score.
On the contrary, more higher education requires not only memorizing, but independent analyzing,various point of view......characters that the long-compliant and teachers'-instruction-dependent girls lack.
But of couse, high score doesn't necessarily mean high capability. This is also the hot topic we are talking and the major aspect our Education Bureau is reforming.
My view is, in early education, pay a little more attention to encourage independence and innovation in girls and dilligence and carefulness in boys. That's OK. Nothing more need to be changed.
Ashiqur Rahim Khan Bangladesh
I think in a segregated school, a boy or a girl does not get enough opportunity for exchanging their feelings towards the different sex. Again, in the future, when he or she will enroll his or her professional life, I think it would be more difficult in respect of gender free communication. Yes, it's true that, in a co-education system sometimes boys can't perform well for their mentality towards the girls. I think proper motivation & counselling can change the boys. As Bangladesh is a Muslim country, the realtion between boys and girls is not easy like other Western countries or European countries. In this country, the best scools and colleges are segregated and students from those institutions are performing well in education or other social field. But when these boys & girls enroll themselves into the universities, they find that very difficulty in gender free communication. They don't feel free or frank to mingle with the opposite sex. Surely, it's not good for them. In this case, students from co-education system get more advantage than those from the segregated education system. So, I think, introducing more schools and colleges with co-education system can solve all the problems. Thank you very much.
Joe, Hong Kong
Make the boy attractive enough for the girl to watch will make the examination results equal.
Kiori Japan
In my country, there is no sex discrimination at school, however there was some years ago. I think nowaday girls have same opportunity as Boys have. It seems that the girls level of education has been improving.
pat, ireland
boys in my school leave evrything till late but they always pass the exams and seem to get the right marks. the girls work hard all the time and only get the same grades.
Kasia/Poland
I think(bay the way like the most of us)that we just should't compare girls and boys at all.We are diferent and it's natural to have diferent abilities.Girls may be more industrious and more responsible, thats way they work very hard.Often they even learn much more they need.Boys usually don't learn as much 'couse they maybe know that in work they will use only a part of school knowledge:)It's realy hard question!I'm only sure that's very good for both of us to stay into the same classes!It's more interesting, don't you think?

Mami from Japan
I think mixed classes are more significant than only boys or girls school. It might be said that only boys or girls are in disorder. However we can learn a lot of things from different gender. Also, it is important to be with different sex because he or she might not be able to get uced to be with different sex. They have no chance to talk or meet otherwise they might become men hater or women hater. We need to have chance even if we are in boys or girls shools. In addition, we will be able to have sympathetic mind each other. In my opinion, we need to be with different sex people and have some time to think about each other in our school days.
nishat india
In my country boys get more attention from their parents than girls do this is bcoz girls get marry in younger ages and this is also true that girls do better than boys as they don't get much freedom as boys do so they have no other work but to study on the other hand boys have a lots of different activities and more freedom . well , In my openion to reduce this difference competion should be held in all levels
Kumiko Japan
In Japan, wefre not compared evidently in daily life. However, in the society we have sort of gap between men and women. In the society, men usually are regarded as more reliable person than women. It is said that itfs better to have both boys and girls in the situation, school, society and so on. It maybe not so big problem in only school in spite of single-sex in the school, however after we graduate the school we have to go out into the world which necessarily have the both gender. You could learn how to cooperate well, respect each other and exchange views before going out into the world. We could learn how to accept each other and develop our faculties each other naturally, which are some of the most important steps should be taken to be equal.

and most of the girls work harder
than the boys.
****, the netherlands
in my country everybody is equal, in theory. But in real live i think women, and also men, are being discriminated by there bosses and other collegues. but there's notning you can do about it. about the fact that boys don't do as well as girls in school, i think we're just smarter!!!
Tone fron bujalvallao
This days boys and girls do the same things but girls are hardworker than boys and thats the reason why girls have better marks at school.
Sergi, Barcelona, Catalonia
I belive in the equality of sexes, and doing different classes from boys and girls only makes society fall back, and the last thing we want is that, becose society is now bad to make this silliness.
In my country, there are good boy students and good girl students, and I think it is an injustice that many boys or many girls looses his/er own oportunitys to be happie in this live.
Sunny China
In our country, I can't see the same phenomena happened in the 45 countries. To some extend, boys will outperform girls quantitatively since boys can get more opportunity to study than girls in poor districts.
I agree that the encouraging police for women upgrade the women's education level. But I don't think it can change the natural ability of studying which is equal between boys and girls.
If our exam system can't reflect the fact, there must be a problem on it instead of boys. If our education system can't interest both boys and girls,there must be a problem on it instead of boys.
I feel it is beyond me that there is a deferent attitude to deploma in deferent sex. isn't it same important to people in society? yes, of course women will be treat worse in the men dominated world. But on the other hand men have more social and family responsibilities. That means he must succeed in achieving fortune and power to prove his value.
I also think it is fact that girls are better at studying, especially at language, in prime school. But it is a matter of time before boys catch up. What boys need is encouragement, children all need encouragement.
Tomoko, Japan
In Japan, boys and girls are almost equal in the School now, even if there is a lot of sex discrimination in the Society. As many people mentioned, there are many only girls and boysf school in Japan. I think itfs better for students to learn in the class that is consisted of same rate of sex because I think itfs very natural and more fun to do so. There are also some problems that as some people say, boys prefer to study science and mathematic, girls prefer to study humanistic, but itfs very natural situation, so I donft care about it. However itfs also true that itfs a little bit hard to study math for girls because there are a few girls in the university of math.
Noriko, Japan
In Japan, it is said usually girls are strong for languages and boys are strong for science and mathematics. I donft know this is true or not but in fact, in this university of language, three-fourths students are girls. However, in junior high school, girls and boys got almost the same marks on any subjects. This is meant the ability of each sex is same when they are child. For this reason, there are no reasons to separate boys and girls. In addition, in this society boys and girls must live together everywhere when they grow up. I believe to know and accept each difference is important.
Tomomi Japan
I think educational environment doesn't matter as long as he or she is eager to study. Mixed class can have more opportunity to learn about different gender's opinions.
Judy form China
In my class, most boys cannot get higher score than girls in the usual test. But they always do better than the girls in the final exam of the semester. So I think the altitude of the study is the most important factor for the good performance. I did not notice that those boys are lack of confidence, at least in my class they are good.
Swamper from China
In china, boys often outperform girls in highschool particularly. however, in primiry school and junior highschool girls look like better at study than boys.

Wesley@PRC
Hi there, your british boys and girls are comparatively lucky enough to read for leasure. Ours rarely do.
Our boys have always been considered that they naturally have more potential to learn better than girls have if they really want to or they are forced to.
Currently, the number of best gradutes who want to be teachers is nearly none which shows the dark destination of our boys and girls that they can end up with.
First, making teaching a more respectful job is a way to get our boys and girls better educated, then, take more care about whom has been out-performed.
Since we are coming this far, I would like to suggest a few more steps as following that might be taken to equal their learning performance:
1> No exams until university entrance, teachers should evaluate their students by their daily behaviour.
2> Our society should offer more female employment which matters.
3> Wait and see in next 12 years(6 primary; 3 middle; 3 high).
4> If it is not working, heigher the university entrance level of boys.
5> Wait and see in next 12 years if you are still alive or this thing still bothers you.
6>By now, you should know what to do.
Thank you

I think that we don't have to think about which is better, coeducation or not. Because both of them have good aspects. For example, in the case of boys/girls class, we can be more friendly and can be united tightly. On the other hand, in the case of coeducation, we could learn variety of views or some new discovery. So I can't chose which is which. Most important thing are accept and understand each other, I think.
Mai / Japan
Actually,when I was junior high school student,boys tend to dislike studying rather than girls.And relatively,mental age of boys is lower than girls. From these reasons, the comparison of boys and girls has occured, I think.
Sandile, South Africa
I also agree on the argument that this reverse of performance is based our current social and economic conditions. To me this change is logical since most of women before had limited career choices. ( Example - you can either be a housewife/nurse/teacher... etc )
Men were dominate in our work force. Since most of our current governments are encouraging a working environment that is not sexiest ( that recognizes women empowerment ), most women are seeing the need of advancing themselves so that they can participate more productively in our male dominate work society.
In my country, we are encouraging more women to participate in our male dominated economy. And the logical way of doing that is to out perform men so that it would be clear to our dominate men that women can also do the job above that may do it better than us men.
yuki japan
Some people may think boys only or girls only class is better to study for students. That is because they can concentrate not love but study. However it may be natural that there are boys and girls in a class, since as a matter of fact, there are male and female in the society. In addition, I think ablity of boys and that of girls are same, the diference is just how a person trys to do hard.
Mariko/Japan
Both boys and girls should have the equal opportunity and it's important to exchange their opinion. In my country, the situation is getting fairer, I think.
Mariko/Japan
I was in the girlsf school for 6 years. That was so interesting that we can play and talk without caring about men. But the problem is that the girlsf school tend to be stressed the need for English and menfs school for mathematics. I think there is stereotype that girls should study humanistic.
Cássia Camila Cirino dos Santos/Brazil
In Brazil, the girls are better students than boys. i think that is because they are more dedicated with no time to think in silly things like the boys do.There's nothing to do,because the opportunities are the same for all the students.
Francesca, Sortino, Italy.
In the last years some studies about the performance of girls and boys in class have shown how the girls consistently out-performing boys. The researchers have tried to investigate the causes that have produced this change, in fact twenty years ago the situation was completely different (boys scored better in exams).
But even if the researchers have pointed out several causes to explain this change, I think that the problem can be in explained with the lack of interest towards the education, in that boys don’t think that a good education may be a passport to get a good job in the future and for this reason during school years they prefer follow things more enrapturing and attractive, like as football or music, that things abstract and ”cool” like a course of study.
As regard the other causes put in evidence from researchers I don’t agree with them, because I don’t think that the lack confidence, or the lack of male model to follow in the family, or the “hormonal bombardment” that upset teenager’s life can be responsible to the failure of boys.
gongqi Fu
don't worry. It is allright even girls better than boys.
Mahshid from Iran
In my country girls outperfom boys in entrance exam for universities (about 60% of the enterees). this may have several reasons.1-girls are more anxious about their future,so they try more. 2-girs watch their future while boys watch the girls 3- there are many fields of study which boys do not attend (e.g. humanities) becouse these fields do not guarantee their financial future;while girls think about their financial future less than boys.there are many other reasons that require more thinking.

Girls on the whole are better than boys in Hongkong. Attract boys to read more books maybe one key way to reduce the gap a little bit. Ways to attract will leave our experts to think serviously during this weekend!
Fariba/Iran
In my country for enter to university we have to participiate in annualy examination based on this examination boys and girls compare and recently the percent of girls which pass the said examination is more than boys .
In my country money is impotant than education so boy prefer to start the work to save money instead of to go to university .so if the said problem solve they will be equal.
Amy, Hong Kong
I have been studying in girl-only school and I am doing well for exams.
However, I like the idea of mixed school as students of opposite sexes seem to have quite different learning methods and attitudes. It is great to learn from each other.
Sakae / Japan
Now boys and girls study in same place and take same education in Japan. One of the reason that women have begun to advance in their profession recent years. I think it is very good for us to study same place because we can notice the difference of boys and girls, share opinions, and have communications with each other. Moreover we can study what we want to study, and it is good to think what we want to do in the future.
guoxiaojian China
since China make the planned parenthood in force ,sigle daughter and son are connom ,and everyone of them are their parents pearl.so ,in urban area ,parents will try their best to sent them to school mno matter what kond .
but thing in countryside ,the situation is a bit different .Because of the poverty and conventions ,they pay maor attention on boys .they think girls will go away to live with other ,which maybe just a joke
Wen, China mainland
the situation is interesting in my country. generally speaking, girls perform better than boys when they are at primary schools.the reason people give is boys are naughty and spend a lot of time on playing. but girl are quite and study hard. from secondery school, boys always domirate first rank in class. the reasons are two. on one hand, boys begin to recognize their duty, in our culture, boys play an important pole in every aspect.the duty , to some degree, encourage them to study very hard. the second one is boys are active,and they use their wits a lot than girsl do. especially, for lab course,girls'advantage in primary is their shortcoming in later study,they seldom practice, and they do worse in such course.this situation can last until they enter high education.
Spain
I Think the situation in my country is the same for girls and men, as students and as workers. The relationship beetwen men and women in class with both sexes is very important for the future of the person, but i think in single sex class men would study better and women wouls study better too. I think that this depends of on the sort of studies and the age. For example, people beetwen 14-17 years old are more easily distracted with the oposite sex.
ELISA SPAIN
I THINT that both of sex are very interenting, and they must be together for complementary. Some days qgo, the thing weren`t as now, and women have been in desiguality, but now all begin to change and men have to flith to try the same things that women, because now we are other competitors too.And the biggest problem for them, it`s we have a lot of ideas and animation to get ours objectives.I would like to be always together because we need each other.
Silvia Calvo
Personally I think that differences between sexes in society are not so important for kids or teenagers as they are for adult people. If young people are sexist nowadays it's because they have seen this behaviour in their environment. First society must educate adult people and show them their faults so that children can never learn from these kind of stupid topics.
Ruben spain
I don't think that girls are more inteligent than the boys,i think that we have the same inteligent but boys are thinking in other thinks like football,go out with friends or any other sport.I think that the girls and the boys have to stay in the same class together.The girls usually study harder than the boys because they want to have a very good job in the future,the boys don't usually look to the future.
nadia rehan pakistan
boys are good then girls for perents specialy in rural area but in urban area girls have better position

because we have rights to learn equal, and how the thoughts or beliefs are different.

Toru/ Japan
hi. To compare boys and girls, boys are good at math or science, while girls tend to study foreign languages. Our university is a foreign language school, so there're a lot of girls. To my interest, one of my teacher, native English speaker, asked me why there're so many girl students in the foreign language school in Japan and also why boys don't study English. I couldn't answer that question. Because I am one of that minority.
Hidetoshi
Recently, here in Japan, it has been argued that the difference between boys and girls opn the working place or school. But, talking of the family situation, I heard that some of the wifes have their job and earn some money, however they never use it for their living, but they spend the money for stupid brand things.

Wing From Hong Kong
There're obviously different between boys & girls in my city. I'm a continuing night student. Girls spend much more time to study after work but boys don't.Only few number of boys in a class. Boys prefer working to further studying. Conversely, girls're expecting higher qualifications than boys. But boys have much burden than girls from family & society.
miho japan
boys and girls study together in japan. i think that it doesn't need to seperate boys and girls. after graduate from school, men and weman work together, so if they don't study together, they have little chance to know what the opposite sex thinks etc... also, boys and girls can help each other, because both of them have good points and bad points.
Mariko in Japan
I was in the girlsf school for 6 years. That was so interesting that we can play and talk without caring about men. But the problem is that the girlsf school tend to be stressed the need for English and menfs school for mathematics. I think there is stereotype that girls should humanistic.
Dasha,Russia
I think that girls in our country are more successful in studying.They work hard and are very responsible.They do their best to pass exams perfetly of course there are exceptions.So sometimes girls are weak in studying.And some boys are very good students and succed in their studying.
Boys should work harder to become more lever.Their parents should pay more attention to their upbringing and do their best to prevent their kids from becomming members of gangs.But in general i think that boys are not like girls.They grow and change in a different way.And i am sure that in Russia those boys who are not very good at studying very often become successful and even rich men.It depends only on their personal features.
Kate, Russia
As for my country and my school, boys and girls never compare one another. Some girls better in phisics or mechanics and some boys the best in lessons of kitchen.The result depend on from every schoolman.If anybody does not want to study,he will not have a result.
And I think that we should help a one another.
Yuliya Soboleva, Russia
At Russian school boys and girls are equal. We have no differences between them. It is very important,because boys and girls have good relations, that necessary for their future family. For example, I had classmate as my best friend. We had been sitting at the same desk for 8 years. Iremember him with pleasure.
TTcheckrigin Grisha
People say:Man shift to the right world,
but woman controls man.
If to speak about our country(Russia) I think that today man is more voluble in society, because such is demographic situation> Now it is not necessary to make man and woman equal. Woman makes a society and man bring different goods to society.
Mika, Japan
I think that it is better to have boys and girls in same class. Boys and girls should be treated equally, but it is true that there are differences between male and female. We could learn many things from opposite sex. I think that it is important to accept each other.
Igor/Russia
Hi! In my country there's not a very high difference between girls & boys studying. There are mixed classes, where boys and girls get education together.And I think, that it is no reason to make a single-sex classes,
because full-sex classes help boys and girls to communicate wich is very usefull for us.
Ol'ga, Russia
In my opinion, our society should revise the view on the problems of genders. E.g., the both - girls & boys - should be given the same possibilities to become an educated person, a good specialist. Today the both genders are not equal.
Liza Russia
In our school the boys' recordswere worse, they had attitude and behavioural problems, there was bulling among them. But on the other hand, they were very humorous and witty-minded people. As for me, it was fun to mix with them.
In my opinion, it will be great on the part of a teacher to make boys work in pares with diligent girlsat school & outside of school( if it's possible), so that girls can help boys with better performing.
Alyona, Russia
I think, in Russia girs study better than boys. It is usual for us. Girls are more serious. They consider education like a pass to the future successful life. Boys often want to walk more than read something useful. So I am sure that we shuold have classes, where boys and girls may study togather. It is very importent to talk to each other and to know our relationship. It will be easier to make family later.
Irina, Russia
1. It seems to me that there is not wrestling between boys and girls who is better. Sometimes it is between a couple, but not in general. As far as I can see girls are always more neat, punctual, diligent, responsibe. Of course it is big plus for them but wonder that at last boys obtain more!
2. Unfortunatly many peope in our country think that women should be housewifes but the men should be bisnessmen. It means from childhood girls thinks she needs only for house and it doesn't need to study because in bisness' world man have more advantages. It is simpler for man to find a job, to make a career.
Nilufar Nahar, Bangladesh
Boys education is more important. Though in the urban area parents are giving equal importance. Single sex educational institution results are better than co-education institution. Irrespective of religion Bangladeshies are conservative. So single sex instituion are more. Now a days mass people attitudes are change. Present government also gave importance. Our women Prime Minister start giving scolarship only to the girls student upto secondary level. But with it we need motivational activites to inspire both the sex. Literacy rate in our country is less comparing with the developed countries.

I am a Chinese boy,in my background,there are not single-sex schools,boys are not study hard than girls,but in their career life,boys have better jobs than girls.SO,girls now working harder and harder.
Jason From P.R.China
In different fields of study, the performances of girls and boys are different. For example, boys are good at science and technology, whereas girls favour arts and literature. Boys and girls have the same opportunity to perform excellent, it is depend on the individual's personality and the situation. Boys and girls under the same social-economic circumstance could access the same treatment equally. I do not think there are any discrimination in school especially in the east of China. However, there are indeed people's individual discriminate behavior which could not be seemed as a persuadable example. This phenominent exists in every country.

Mariko and Emi Japan!!
Hello.We think that mixed school is better than single sex school, because when we have a job, we have to communicate with opposite sex to own sex.So, we should get used to oppsite sex.Anyway, we can choose which we want to go. It is your choice.
Ayumi Japan
Long time ago boys are seemed to be admirable than girls however, nowadays in Japan, there are not such differences between boys and girls I think. Many years ago, it was considered that only boys should go to school and girls are just stay at their home and doing housework. However that thought is completely changing. Recently a lot of women have a good job and some of them are doing well than men. And if we go into a society we have to corporate with each other. So I think coeducation school is better than single sex school ecause we can learn how to communicate with opposite sex and also know differences of the way of thinking. Before Japan had a lot of single sex school but recently some school is trying to change their system and boys and girls are treated equal in school. Although we can still see some difference like a teacher asks only boys to carry heavy things etc. However in education way (studying) there is no difference in my country. and I hope coeducation system affect in good way to their future.
Wakana / Japan
Hi! I think boys and girls are equal in Japanese schools because everyone can go to school and recently Japanese schools try to make no discrimination between boys & girls. However, there are still some the discrimination in several job places, especially politics.
There have been a lot of women who got successful in her job, but I think men can make more money than women can. There is no customs like mothers should stay home and fathers should work hard. However there are some men who think man has stronger right than women. I hope that there is no discrimination between men & women in society.

A A Iran
in my country Iran boys and girls are seperate and they do their work in school and education perfectly. When you have girls and boys in the same class, automatically girls get distracted by boys and boys get distracted by girls. But boys are more than girls therefore they do badly in their classes.
Megumi/JAPAN
In Japan, there are not much differences between boys and girls on the education in recent years. However there was sex discrimination in the education and society etc. in the old days. If we divided into two groups which is for boys class and the other is for girls class, that situation might be a soil for causeing discrimination of gender, I think. Well, I'd like to say that it is best way for girls and boys to study in same circumstance, then they can see the differences of view between girls and boys, not blaming it. And then, they can learn the ability of understanding each other.
Eriko,Japan
In my country, home economics was for girls and handicraft class was for boys. But now boys and girls take both of the classes. It shows that boys and girls are equal, I think.
By the way I think it is better that boys and girls study together. Because they have different opinions, features, weak and good points etc. so we can help each other and learn human relationship.
Alena/Czech Republic
Hello,
when comparing boys and girls in our coutry it's obvious, that female are much more successful than male, at least as far as education is concerned.As I've been a student for last 13 years:-)), I've had many oportunities to experience this and I have to say, that it definitely is true.
In my view, the problem is that boys are less goalseeking than girls and that they usually are not able to force themselves to learn. I must admit, that what we learn at school sometimes seems to be completely useless and that I understand those, who try to avoid learning it, but the higher education one gets, the better position he or she can reach (that's what I always say to myself, when I'm depressed:-))
And solution??I would say that if the classes were more practical, even boys could enjoy it. Learning what you doubt is useful and worth learning is very hard, but the time you see it really could be applied even somewhere else except while being examined, your approach to it will probably change.
Hitomi Japan
In Japan, there are same number of boys and girls in class and no differences between boys and girls.

I kind of like the idea that every one has the choice. I mean, if you want to go to the single sex school, that's fine, and if you prefer the mixed school, no proplem. One idea dosen't go on every one.
steve from CHina
previously ,as the influence of the "woman without knowledge is merit".most parents paid little attention to the study of their gils,and most of them thought girls must be married to the other family ,so not necessary to pay much effort on their gilrs ,especially on education.So in school, boys always had bettre performance in study than girls.But now , everything has changed.Boys and girls are equal,with serious competition in hunting for the job,most of parents pay much efforts and money on their boys or girls,so in school,boys and girls are the same excellent in study.
Edward Line, Taiwan
I believe that society is composed of male and female. There is no reason to set up a single-sex class in our contry, even all over the world.
I was educated in single-sex before, I don't know what anohter half think of anything then, so I have had troubles with getting along with another half for a long long time. Nowadays, In Taiwan, most of school authorities abandon the single-sex class.

nana japan
In my country,in the old days almost all people think that boys are more admirable than girls. so girls couldn't earn them'selves living.and there were a lot of single-sex school.my parents studyed at single-sex highschool.but recently some of single-sex sdhools are trying to change their policy to start a coeducation system.i think it mean that boys were not equal to girls
Murat,TURKEY
HI,Here in TURKEY I`m Murat In my country boys and girls are equal but in the school life somethings have changed.Girls like playing,they spend m a lot of time on playing but boys like studying,they have better results than girls.But when the universty starts every thing changes boys marks become low because of the girls but girls marks are better than the boys. There are big changes at unversity in turkey.All of them is change its normal,but there is a one thing is not change in turkey "family life"
salem-yemen
in my country the education completely different situation,system.most school has single sex classes for student.i believe that girl more hard working than boys that becase not the boys bad or they are not at studing I think the season the mixed clasee make some problem so they didnet focu for thier studing.elso becase same time no male role moden they coudnet follow him so they follow thier think.so the sex single class is go for all of them.
Claudio, Italy
Hi!In my opinion, I think there is no differences between boys and girls about education because, for example, at school the males are good in some things but, on the other hand, the females are good in other things.But I think that in recent years something is changed because the female`s position in society is changed and now women have more responsabilities, not only like housewife but also like a worker!this is a great thing!For example, I`m in the Italian Army and in the academy there are also the women;they aren`t good in all things but they deovte themselves to continue normally their job.Anyway,people are changed and now we are arriving to the perfect parity of the sexs.
cosimo, italy
I think in Italy there aren't differences between boys and girls in the school. There are mixed classes,and boys and girls have got the same opportunity. We cannot generalize saying the girls are better than boys at studyng. Sometimes girls work harder than boys,because boys in their free time spend time on sport.
diane , england
I agree with the article!
SCHMID - FRANCE
I think it's normal to have girl and boys together in school. Why do you must a difference between the sex of children.In france, all children study together, perhaps boys look the girls at school, it's the life! and it isn't a problem for their education.. I believe the most important the children wear a same uniform (boys and girls) there will be not a difference in their social life.
J.L.G. Spain
We think that girls mature earlier that boys so it seems that girls have a better way to see their future. Boys are childish, they like to play. That's why girls score higher marks than boys. Girls take seriously education.

Hi! My name is Filippo, I’m a sixteen-years old student and I live in Syracuse a little Town in south-east of Sicily, in Italy.
I think that in my country boys and girls receive the same education and the same opportunity to work, therefore there isn’t any differences between them.
( Even if, I think that, while the girls are better than boys in Italian and Philosophy, whereas the boys are better than girls in Mathematics and Science. )
This, because they have the same project: go to university to have the better-paid jobs.

Michael,PRC.
In my opinion,the boys and girls are equal in China.The best students have the best attitute in study,it isn't depend on which sex they are.Because of the different interesting of courses between boys and girls,the most boys are good at Maths,physical and chmistry and the most of girls are good at geography,biology and history.
kevin /China
In our country,girls are better than boys in primery school as boys spent more time playing.When they get into middle school,however,most boys realise that studying is most important things for them.As boys have better logic,they have good performance in some subject,shch as, mathematics,chemicals and physical.Nevertheless,girls are better in geography,biological and history because they have good memorry.When they study in same school,they can learn each other.It is beneficial for them and the social as a whole.
Kumiko,Japan
I think boys and girls should be equal all the time. Nobady can't decide which gender is better than other one. That's depends on the person. But I think girls become adult earlier than boys that meaning is mental so they think about their future and study harder than boys when they are at school. I believe that boys and girls have same ability.

Volkan TURKEY
Girls and boys are equal in Turkey. They have same education in schools, in same class. Also, their education procees is depend on the people's (boys and girls) effort. Because, there is an exam which is called university entrance exam. if you are successful and pass this exam you can go to university. If you are failed you can go to private university as well. There is no restriction on girls or boys about their education.
Anne France
In my country, boys and girls have the same rights.Few years ago there were more boys in the hight school,now there were boys and girls, sometime more girls. Perhaps because the girls do not want to need a man to live,they want their own job and their own money and so work at school for that
Martina/Slovakia
Acctually in UK, it can be really true, that the girls are better then boys but it is just a opinion. Im thinking that around the world, in every countries you can find girl who is learning unbelieveble a lot and also a boy who need half of time to learn that same, or upsidedown ;o).
So! It really depend on the person, ambition of the person, situalation in the life, oportunity ... I would say: " Lets learn and try the best1" That only one thing what we can do.
Anyway, feminismus is something good, but the boys are clever as well ;o).
Duong Trang from Vietnam.
The "bigger" performance of boys in the pass was due to their privilege in the vietnamese family : in a numerous family, only boys were encoraged to do hight studies so they had good conditions to succeed. Today, a family has only one or two children and the position of women in the vietnamese society is improved, so girls have chances to compete and succed
Nazira from Iraq
In my country, 90% of the peopl prefer boys on girls. To chamge this attitude, It is good to start from the childen themselves especially the girls, helping them to belive more in themselves. This may needs family support.
tung-hong kong
i think boy & girl are equal important part for the society . so i think we should not separate the male or female in school .it is difficult to say that the male or female can do better .it depends on the ppl 's ability
Sohel, Bangladesh
In economically, boys are prefered by most of the families. As they think, the boys can take care of them in future so girls are getting little negligence from parents. Specially, this kind of attitude is happening in poor families. Some of rich families are also following the same path as the poor. But well educated and develop minded people are always taking care both girls and boys.
Our government is trying to create the atmosphere for the acceptance of girls. Now a days there is no restriction or limited job for girls and boys. Whoever can get the chance, they can do the job. So we don't think from the government there is problem for girls.
If we change our mentality then we can say girls and boys are getting same attention from parents.
Raymond from Hong Kong
Boys and girls are equally treated in my country especially in the education system because most of the family has one child. Parents only pay attention to their only child nevertheless the gender of their child and they love him/her so much.

RAI,ISRAEL
I DON'T KNOW THE PERFORMING PERCENTAGE OF EACH GROUP(BOYS OR GIRLS). I BELEIVE THAT GIRLS ARE BETTER THAN BOYS IN EXAMS AND SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENTS, BUT THE SITUATION IS NOT THE SAME IN THE REAL LIFE. BOYS ARE MORE INVOLVED AND MORE EFFECTIVE IN A POLITICAL LIFE AND USUALY THEY TAKES THE MORE IMPORTANT AND EFFICTIVE JOBS AND POSITIONS.
Alae Li China
I'm a girl sophomore in a university rather famous in China.And the proportion of girls vs boys is 1:6.Generally believed among us,boys are more active and willing to do deeper in academic work,while girls seem to put more importance on the daily homework and their scores in exams.
Personally,i think boys are better at balancing the campus life rather than girls,because girls are kind of too concentrated to academic work,and likely to neglect development on other aspects.
Jessica Gao P.R.China
Well, I just read some pieces of comments about the problem of co-eductaion system from voices in different countries. I find , many countries ,especially the Middle-eastern countries such as Pakistan, India, exist a serious sex discrimination . But, to my suprises, some western countries like Spain,Germany and etc. are also having such problem. It seems the sex discrimination is a global problem.
As a female, I fell very fortunate due to the positive attitude towards the female's social status today. Nowadays China gives an equale oppotunity to both genders. Girls& boys accept same education at the each stage of education process. If a girl can graduate with bachelor degree and meawhile her major is required by the market, it's likely that she can get a good job and earn a high paying. Independence would let her get a high social status easily. Whereas China's boy couldn't get a high social status if poor educated. Generally, today's China focuses on the professional level more than the gender.
Everybody should have and cultivate his or her special ability or professional knowledge. I can say that the difference doesn't exist only between genders but also between the individuals.
As for the phenomenon of the education form, I prefer the co-education to the sex-single education, because in the former environment, girls and boys have a chance to learn how to communicate with the opposite gender. I'm convinced that students who grow up in such environment would adapt the adult social more easily.
At last, I would thank BBC world service for supplying such global language forum. Here, our English learners all over the world can communicate with each other freely, by which we can learn more different cultures and improve English level.

Boys and girls are equal in the most of place in our country.because the most of family have a boy or girl,it is due to "family plan",so the parens pay more attention to the child's education.But there are not equal treated in some country or minority area.

The fact is that girls get matured earlier than boys, and this might help them see the future in another angle, with more responsibility and hopeness, taking the course more seriously, whereas boys struggle to cope with the their lack of confidence and childishness. That's the nature and I believe nothing can be made about it.
Jian CHEN/CHINA
It is a good topic that why boys are doing so badly around the world!In my opinion,nowadays,young men think the future would be controlled by their hands,as we can see that on the top of some companies and world organisations there are more male than female.However,young girls decided to change their positions in the society and try to work and study hard inorder to fix the big gap during the last twenty years.So how can we solve this problem?As someone mentioned that we may need more single-sex schools,so boys have no chances to alway see pretty girls and they could work hard then!
I do not agree that if there are only boys in the school,how can we improve their communication skill bewteen different genders.They may feel embarrassing when they work with female!
Sunny China
I am from north of China,nealy no sex-single schools,there.we are all in co-education schools.In my opinion,boys and girls study together,it is good for communicate with each others,we can know more about the opposite sex,we would not be embarrass to work together in the future.
Margaret China
The situation of boys are higher than the girls,though the government expect to equal,such as more families like boys more than girls;if they want to go to the same school,the girls must get higher scores than that of boys;in addition,in a company,most stuff are males,the femals do not have the same oppotunities as males,and in the government as well.
So if this situation want to be changed,we must do a lot of things,because it is a long history in China,and also it takes a long time.First of all,in educaton,the girls should be given the same oppotunities as boys,for instance,the score of entering higher school.In addition,in the sociaty,everyone have to be told or educated about equal.
In summery,though it is quite difficult to be change in our mind ,we cannot give it up.
vincent from chinese
The chinese education steps are:
primary school(6 years)---middle school(3 years)----high school(3 years)----university(4 years).around 98% of schools are co-educational.In general both girls and boys are treated equally in school.
male always keep dynamic.they spend much time on playing when they are children,compare with male,famale are often study at home,therefore famale have a better result than male in primary school in china.although there is a little increase of male who stop wasting time to study hard and catch up with famale,the result of famale still better than male in middle school.as the knowlodge tought by teachers become more and more difficult,some girls find hard to understand and face a difficult to keep going situation.however, boys become more interested in the studying.many boys not only catch up with girls but also exceed the girls in high school and successfulling enter a good university.
Janice(China)
In china both girls and boys have equal opportunity to developement themselves.However Girls are normaly work hard then boys.In parmary school girls are better them boys, but when they go to High school boys will catch up.As them ask:'what steps should be taken so both are equal'? In my point of view I think the Education systerm shout be positive in oder to suppot boys which to find out how does boys and girl think about their education.and try to let boys and girls work together.
JOHN (CHINA)
When you look at Chinese 5000-year histry.We could find that most people believe that,boys are more importent than girls.I think no-body can change people's mind in the short time.Girls always have less opportunities to get education and find jobs.The problem is
it is not the problem of finance or society,it is the people'mind.Give more jobs and opportunities to girls,that is what we can do for giels.

Tracy/ China
I don't think the environment can change ones completely.If one desires a good quality life in the futuer, he would try his best to study hard.Although it could be same to put he in co-education or singel sex school. In China, most of students study hard whatever they are boys or girls and wherever they stay.they have the same aim--to go to university--to be a undergraduate is very helpful to their future.
victor China
In my country,most school are mixed by boys and girls,it is hard to find a single sex school.Most girls are working hard,thay do what as the teacher said and finished the homework
in time ,thay are the traditional good
student .In the other hand,boys are often be thought nauty and lazy in study.But when they grow up ,they are more successful than girls,they lead girls. The most decision was decided by
men,not women.
ZJ China
There are same amount of boys and girls in a class now,basicly thet can get same oppourtunity during their study life.But after education boys can get job easy than girls.
Amy CHINA
I am a student of China,now i am studing in uk,my major is international business foundation course.In China,the requires of entering senier high school and university are different between girls and boys.Girls must high scores than boys if they want to get into the same school.I don't think this is not fair to girls. Everyone should have the same oppurtunity,i don't think boys can do things better than girls.

Fendy Kong---- China
Personally,I don't think single sex education is the best way of equalling the gap of boys and girls in school.It's no point to change the evironment while the low aspiration stays the same.The matter is not about boys or girls but about the ambition of achievement!
PR.CHINA(chery)
Both sexes are equal , each of them has their own strengths in academic.For example,males maybe good at the maths and science,and femals may good at the language and history.If in UK females are achieve more than males now,in my opinion,girls and boys study together is not the important reason,single sex school should limite the children as well,so we should to find the reason from ourselves,not others.
China
In China most of people think that boys in class is better than girls who excatly study harder than boys.They said that boys have potential in the future but girls are not.Even they finish their education to find a job,boys are also easy than girls to find a good job.In my opinion the steps let boys and girls equal should be taken when they were born,and it also need social suooprt and admit.
Peter Pei, China
Boys & girls in leaning period, I think is equal. Only the good student will be awarded by society. But after adult, boys normaly can more easy to sucess than girls in job. anyway girls can also be proud in some area.
Yongrok, South Korea(Seoul)
In my country, it's obvious that women are getting more admissions from universities than men are recently. Women out-perform in college life also, especially, they represent logically, fluently and even friendly in classes. Women seem to be more realistic. However, it is likely that they are not more welcomed than men in the bussiness world. I believe that women will occupy high-levels in society as time goes by, the day of equality is not far!
Shehla,Pakistan
In my country boys and girls are considred to be playing different roles in society.So parents are usually more worried about the education of their sons than their daughters.This is because sons are supposed to have careers and earn bread for the family while daughters are supposed to stay at home and take care of the family and household chores.My opinion is that everybody should have freedom to try in their lives different things be it a boy or a girl.
Stephen from China
To be frank, I never felt it will be very good to education about the single sex school, also never felt very bad that boys pay more attention to the girls. By contraries, if the girls can change their minds only to like the boys studied hardly, maybe it is a good solution to the education.
Toshi in Japan
I have two daughters : One who graduated from a single sex high school, now goes to single sex college, and the other who is studying at a co-education high school.¡¡When I see their school life, I think, in respect of a high scool, the education system of single-sex girls may be better for not only studying but also practicing common sense. High scool Boys and girls seem to be easy to affect each other in some bad ways. In Japan recently some of single sex schools are trying to change their policy to start a co-education system. Because, with young populations getting less here, they fear of decreasing in applicants for the school and are thinking of introducing both sex. So it's not just because they consider this system well.
For the difference in the academic performance between boys and girls I can hardly give any idea. But I guess, of Japan's society where men still feel more obliged to support family than women, that boys here in Japan tend to become watching the future as they are coming of age rather than girls.
Han Gye Soo. S.Korea
When it comes to human being's education, Korea had a sad, terrible history, because in the past, women had
deprived of the rights even to enter the
primary schools. AND the thought of predominance of men over women had controlled the entire society.But time has been changed. Nowdays women become distinguished in various jobs and also become the boss in many fields.
I had been serving as a teacher about 35 years and teaching boys and girls, but there is no clear evidence boys are infrior to girls. On the other hand, it depends on case by case. To some extent,
I'm for John Dunsford's opinion. In Korea, entering famous univ is looked upon as a passport to the higher echelons of society. So many students and their parents eagerly do their best to enter the famous univ. It's natuaral
that regardless of sex, the student who
are motivated by strong desire always achieve the good results.
Agbaegbu Charles / Nigeria
Generally boys perform better than girls especially in the science subjects. In some states, however,more girls go to school than boys.As a result of the high unemployment among the youth, in particular the IGBOS who happened to be defeated in the last Nigerian civil war boys have totally lost interest on education. They prefer to become traders atleast to be able to fend for thmselves before thinking about education.The poltical situation does not help out matters either.The polticians are all crooks and robbers , looting government treasury to enrich themselves,as such no meaningful programme is on the ground tonencourage education.One can rightly say that Nigeran society is retrogressing back to primitive society.Worst still the international community is busy sing the praises of these oppressors of humanity.
torrent yan;China
when I learned in school 20 years ago,I had seldom been compared to girls,because the first score was always obtained by girls.as a boy ,I spent more time in sports,but if you calculated the 10 or 20 of top scores,you could find that quantity of boys and that of girls were mostly equal.
Lilia /Bulgaria
According to the experience I've made during my school education I can say that on average girls get better marks than boys. In my opinion this is due to the differences between girls and boys. Particularly in their teens boys tend to pay less attention to the school lessons and to their duties. It's difficult for them to concentrate for too long unless they find something very interesting. Boys tend to spend more time playing sports or computer games. At this age they develope their competitive skills but unlike the girls it's not the school where they do their best. Later in the universities things change and boys are motivated to learn hard as well.
To sum up I think that age-related changes are responsible for the worse school performance of boys compared to girls. What is more it's proved that boys mature slower than girls. School teacher should take these differences into account and try to attract boys attention in order to make them work harder.
cherub from Asia
Girls never possess the equal chance to that of boys in postgraduate institute, because girls are always considered less competent than boys especially in engineering course ,in which practical manipulation and the skill of programming are attached special importance to .In fact,girls are endowed with the same potential and wisdom as boys in every research field,but the traditional prejudice ,firmly rooted in human's mind,upon girls is that girls cann't match boys in competence of abstract thoughts and practical manipulation. The phenomenon against which I am particularly exasperated is that almost all the professors give much more expectation to boys and take it for granted that girls will never make great achievements in research ,and there seem many excuses for their prejudice ,such as girls' less enterprise ,no concentration on research ,etc.
TRINH XUAN DUNG FROM VIETNAM
I think girls and boys have the same
ability in studying. However, boys seem
to learn better than girls in some subjects and vice versa. This is the problem of phisical and sychological status of human beings.
Tina Tang ; PRC
In general,girls are outperformed boys.Girls know they have to achieve through effort, but boys are dependent on their parents for a better future.
Manijeh/ Iran
In my homeland, nowadays there are the same facilities for education for boys as for girls in single-sex schools. But girls are more successful especially in entrance exam of universities. Since 2 years ago girls has been admitted more than boys. This year 60% of admitted students were female and 40% were male. I think the origin of this fact lies in society, which in term arises from unemployment problem boys usually prefer to work rather than to continue their education. They say there is no use in education when you can find even a better-paid job without it, for instance in our company a driver is paid more than an engineer. But girls are highly motivated students, because they find it as a way to get a better situation in society.
Unfortunately our government policy to solve this problem is limiting the number of girls in universities by enforcing certain terms and conditions regarding the sex of applicants, instead of encouraging the boys to try more. Additionally they are going to prohibiting the girls take part in some fields and make them exclusively for boys.
Jacopo Di Gesù Siracusa
Hi! I’m Jacopo and I live in Syracuse, a little town in the south of Sicily, Italy!
I think that there is no different between males and females about education. In fact, according to me, boys, are better at scientific subjects, like maths, physics, or science, while girls are better at humanistic subjects, like history or philosophy. Moreover some studies prove that girls and boys ‘ brain are very different, and so I think no one is better than the other!
Danila - Siracusa, Italy
Hi everyone! My name is Danila and I’m a fifteen-year old student. I agree with BBC news about the fact that girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future. In the past, women were considered useful only to grow up children and nothing more. They couldn’t always study but only if their fathers and brothers wanted it so they couldn’t often have the own education. Now things have changed in fact as I can see in my classroom, girls are motivated to study because they see in education the future both as women and people in the society!!
Florian B.; Germany
During my apprentiseship I'm in a business school, block release course.
We're 30 pupils, 17 female and 15 male. During these periods of school we write a lot of tests and the marks are spread equally between the two sexes. Maybe it's like that because we're in an apprentiseship and have to give our best or learn hard for our future jobs.
Rosa from Catalonia (Spain)
Hi! In my country there's not a very high difference between girls & boys studying. We choose different subjects according to what we want to do at the university or to be in life.But in Spain there's a "machism" point of view, that means that men think that women's main task is to grow up children, taking care of them (including their husband's) and that men's task is to work to get the money to eat.Despite that point of view, girls want to improve their lives, change that machism idea and in an immediat future be equal (in salary's as well)to men.
Mariona, Spain (Catalonia)
Well, now i'm in the institute and here boys and girls are equal at all aspects. But, there are boys that think that womans are, still, for being at home, take care of him and also take care from the children.
I think that this opinion must change immediately because we are at 21th century!
Joyce, Taiwan
In my country, both genders are given the same opportunities to study. Other than some top-nutch high schools that open to one gender only, the idea of co-education system seems to be widely spread around the nation. However, I doubt that girls out-perform boys at all time. Since girls tend to be more mature than boys during junior and high school, they understand better the value of knowledge and appreciate what they learn more. Yet when it comes to university and even graduate degrees, it is obvious that boys show their excellent enduribility and intelligence latter on.
Bengy, Thailand
Nowaday , it can be seen from some class in some schools that there are increasing the number of girls who achieve more at school. I can say that because it happened in my class. I think of one reason is that girls have less activities than boys have. In this regard, boy play many things such as climbing trees, fighting games. They also have many toys such as cars, robots, planes, vedio games. Theses activities or things which support boys that girls and attract many boys so the boy may have attention in study less. While there are few of the girls who plays those or things, most of the girls may have more time to pay attention in class than boys have. I thing the step which should be taken so both are equal are reduced some toys which don't benifit to the children. We may band some advertising which stimulate the need of the boys.
W.SALEH,EGYPT
At Egypt both girls and boys have the same opportunity in every aspect,girls do well at schools and colleges.
I think that the problem arises from the involvement of desire whether sexual or emotional during the process of education.
T. Amanuel
About my home country i don't have enough knowledge how they are now but i have general comment i would like to say people at home and school shoud treat them equally plus think about the nature of different.
Annie Treign
In southern China(near Guangzhou), boys and girls have same oppotunity to go to school, but due to traditional notions that girls are needless to be higher educated, many girls aren't allowed to enter university and leave the chance to boys if families can only support one to go to university. It's getting better recently because enconomic is coming up in our district.
Diallo D. Fadi / Guinea
In my country, it's difficult to compare Boys and Girls in term of education because their choices are completly different. The Boys generally like the exact sciences and the Girls social sciences or Medical sciences. When they are mixt, both of them work hard so in that case we can say that they are almust equal.
Another problem that the Girls are facing in my country (specially in the villages) is that their parents are not in favour of their going to school. And those who get chance don't take the full advantages of it. They play a lot, they want to have everything good while they are still a student/their parents are poor, they want to be the must beautiful woman in the world. Finally they focus their mind in such things and forget about learning hard, when they fall, their parents are discourage and send them to do something else or give them to someone for marrage.
zaffar shaheen ; Indian administered Kashmir
well, i think that the solution lies
not in separate classes but with sincere teachers , its actually teachers who can make or break a class, those teachers who possess the fire in their eyes of professionalism can make a difference i'm a living example to it. My personal experience
is that my teacher turned me from a midget to something extarordinary.
Bruce Xu/ China
In China, sometimes it is very difficult for a girl to find a good job, while a boy is much more easiler to get a high-salary job.(At least we don't see a big change in the situation now)That means a girl must try every effort to finish her college courses with excellent grades. It is no wonder that girls out perform boys in school. It is a very tough problem to solve when it links to the change of people's mind.
Eeman Shaz Pakistan
In my Country boys and girls are not treated equally in education. As you know Pakistan is a developing country, where education facilities in rural areas are not good enough.On a state level, if one town need school first they perfered to build boys school. Parents has first choice to send school boys.
Despit all these conctraints and limitations girls are more brighter then boys.Girls are more hardworking and foucsing the goal with serious mood. Girls has limited chioces and options in feild of proffesions. But boys has verity of chioces and options. After all boys want to enjoy the fun and freedom which girls does not have so the girls spend more time to education.
Alessandra, Italy
Generally speaking, in my country girls study harder than boys, and this is the reason of their out-performing boys at school. I think that girls still consider school as an "achievement", given that in a not too far past they hadn't so many opportunities to attend it. Probably for boys school is not such a stimulating "challenge". Moreover, I think that in many occasions girls give proof of a stricter sense of duty than boys, and school is one of these.
vanesh , pakistan
In my country ofcourse girls are performing well only upto intermediate education in all groups like science and arts.However, boys succed more in higher education, inspite of more than 60% girls are in medical colleges. Out of them girls hardly do postgraduation.Because parents of pakistan dont send teenager girls to colleges. IF some of them succed to get admision then they hardly do job. In our culture still there are restriction for girl to entertain curricular activities. At the same time figure is growing is growing among matropolitan cities.
In the nutshel, we should take serious steps for encouraging people in rural areas by arrainging seminars, advertisements etc.
Mohsen
Up to university level, the Iranian education system is based on single-sex classes only. I do not know whether girls perform better or not in Iranian schools, but I know just over 50% of all pupils who pass university entry exams are girls.
I believe smaller classes might play an important role towards good performance of both girls and boys.
Thank you

Boys have big problems at schools because they need a different way to learn. Education nowadays is done in a way which suits to girls very good but it meets not the need for boys.
I personally have a boy with a IQ of 125 and he has big difficulty at school, because he has a dyslexia (many boys have this, much more than girls) and there is no programm do deal with that.
We have to find a new way to "integrate" boys in our classroom. We forget them the last twenty years. Boys are frustrated at schools, it is boring for them, the need other treatments.
linda,CHINA
Both girls and boys have their advantages and disadvantages.So if youngsters study and live within a circle that¡¯s only boys or girls,their abilities would be limited------They lose the opportunity to learn from ¡°the other sky of the society¡±.For instance,girls are more careful,gentle,and sensitive to their surroundings;while boys are more casual,open¡ªminded,and forgetful about trivial matters,etc.
Totally speaking,if boys and girls study together,both parties will benefit from their comparative advantages.It will help them to broaden their horizons,and learn from others' strong points to offset their weaknesses.
Jean-Pol from Belgium
Education is a door to enter your parent's society or in other words a way to become an adult.
But that will to enter the adult's world might be different. girls are often ready to live as their parents were living while boys are more inclined to change the world.
You have probably to go back to our roots to explain that way of reacting.
Looking for safety and security (for their children) is probably in the girls' genes whereas survival was the boys'aim in the prehistorical times.
Trying to keep the society as it is will probably suit the girls more than the boys and it's what the educational system is trying to impose.
girls are not better than boys; it's our education system and our way to evaluate that make the girls out perform the boys.
Nethertheless, even if girls are better
we have to keep classroom open to boys and girls together because it's the way societies are organised and school has to prepare them for their future together.
Francy Italy
In my opinion is better a mixed class with boys and girls, when I was young I attended a single girls school and I was afraid of boys,I was very shy beside I lived with my mother and my sister because my father was dead so I hadn't a male model.
Edmundo Lopez, Mexico
girls, on my country seems to me are doing better than boys at school and are graduating because the ideosyncrasy of my people , we live in a society where men had to work and provide for the family ,and the best" training" a men can have is starting early to learn how to work and while most boys have to work and study at the same time ,girls don't have to do that they can focus only on their homework while boys must focus on their jobs and if they have an extra time on school.
hamud, somalia
i would like to submit here what my opinion says the education, as we know the education is the sight of people like touch so the boys and girls are must compete.
ok thanks you
and good luck
Noureddine Boutahar(male) Morocco
Girls work better than boys in my country because they still feel "oppressed" by men and want to show to the world that they are equal to men and that they can even beat them. History has shown that the oppressed often work hard and seriously and most
famous people owe their success to opression.Good luck to them to get us some peace males couldn't provide.
AJU PAUL/SOUTH INDIA
boys and girls are treated equally in my country. in my opinion, boys have more IQ than girls.but girls are more hard working.so they came infront every time.boys are always making fun.most imporatant point i see is that,"girls always looks at there future ,sametime boys always looks at girls".haha
Ahmed, Saudi Arabia
In my country the girl has no thing to do out of her house (she can not drive, she can not do sports, she con not swimme in the beatch...ect) she can only make shopping !!! forthere, she spends all her time in her house (learning or watching TV or talking on the phone)
so realy girls are better than boys in education, but that does not mean girls are smarter than boys
Ying China mainland
Boys may not get high scores in colleges but they do have priviledge when they are facing job opportulity. So scores don't mean anything ,moreover, when you are out of school, perhaps they mean nothing.
Dawn China
I am a student and i major in english.in my class there are 44 students in total.and the number of boys is only 7.it seems girls are doing much better than boys in almost all subjects.however,it is a totally different story in maths department .The majority are boys and their performance is excellent.boys and girls are equal, i think. They have their owm strong points and weak points
It's natural and just let it be.

this is a very interesting issue.
I don't think that this issue fits for everybody. In Japan, normally boys do tend to be better at some subjects than girls.

boys are better and stronger than girl.so low is in side of men.

Deslandes Iris from France
I know that in my country, before high studies girls are better than boy. They think more about their futures whereas boys don't care. So, at the end of the 'little school' more girls succeed the examination entitled 'BAC'. But after, we remark that boys (who are really more confidents than girls) get the best jobs because girls underestimate themselves .
Kumiko from Japan
The opposite sex can be a great distraction for high school students. In Japan most of the top-level private high schools are single-sex schools. The students of single-sex schools can concentrate on study.I believe there is no difference of academic abilities between boys and girls. What is important is to provide students with the right circumstances where they can concentrate on studying and help them learn.
Justin from Hong Kong
I believe both sexes are equal and each of them has their own strengths in academic. Girls usually learn languages faster while boys calculate better.
Fayzal,Germany
I feel co-education system is best to improve the confidance of pupiles.In the class room every boy should have one, good,and help full gril friend and they both work as group in study.then later develope this under standing in life as good partner.
That was my dream...sadly never came true.

hello, in my country boys and girls have got the same opportunity, nowadays there is no differences between them, of course boys are often paying their attention to football or sport of the kind while girls are more careful in making any afforts to build up their social position after long years of male supremacy. the gist of life is to stop making comparison and begin working together.cheers

Boys are better at Math and science whereas girls are better at humanities.
In South Korea, boys still outshine girls.
Matrida Isack/Tanzania
In my country boys and girls are equal. But problem is that, some girls didn't know her chance in their society, thats the cause of other family which put power to their boys children only and they make care more to boys especial in education. So the girls, they know are there for merried only, their life depending to the men. So the society must be change and will do all the best to both girls and boys. Must know that the girls also have power to perfect well as boys and more than boys.
Erin, Taiwan
I am a student who spent most of my life so far in a girls' school. In my hometown we have single-sex schools for both genders. Girls out-profermed boys in Art and Business field; however, Boys too out-profermed girls in Science, Technology and Math. Therefore, both genders are equal. Simply boys and girls are good at different things.

Carmen from Brazil
In Brazil both boys and girls are performing poorly in school, and that is certainly due to the crazy world we live in: no more time for reading, talking about books, authors. On the other hand, teachers salaries (around US$ 200,00) together with modern educational system have devastated the country's public education. All they want to do is to have some fun. Finally, boys and girls will never be equal, no matter what steps are taken.

Lawrence LEE / Hong Kong
In the recently two years, there is a change as well, girls achieve better than boys. In fact it is a persisting evidence while the ppl come to know it as the public aware this issue. That leads the government changes her fixed policy, letting out-performed girls entering band 1 secondary schools rather than limiting the proportions of boy and girls to band 1 schools. I think boys generally develop later not only physically but also mentally. The assessment may not a good tool for reflecting the fact that girls really do better.
