What is it about?
After exploiting the data of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) of 2015 our research shows that girls perform a lot better than boys when it comes to reading, while boys perform better than girls in mathematics and science. The results show also, that in only 14% of the countries participating in the PISA 2015 girls perform better than boys. By mobilizing a multilevel modelling, we can see inequalities in students’ achievements between countries and within every country
