Eighth Grade: Gender Gaps in Math Achievement

A new analysis shows that the math gap between boys and girls is growing globally. Each bar represents the proportion of countries and territories that exhibited statistically significant gender gaps in their average math achievement scores.

Education systems were included in the graphics if they participated in four or more TIMSS cycles including TIMSS 2023. Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
