Abstract
A recent report penned by analysts from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has gauged how high school students fare in 63 countries. The ABC of Gender Inequality in Education highlights areas in which girls do as well as boys and areas that are persistently divided by gender. The key message about science education is that while certain disparities have been bridged, others remain as gaping as ever. Up to the 1990s adolescent girls underperformed in school science relative to boys. Analysts saw this gap as the key reason why girls showed comparatively little interest in science careers
