Eighth Grade: Who Are the High Achievers? Boys vs. Girls

More than half of countries and territories represented in the data report an overrepresentation of boys among students who meet advanced math standards, with the highest rate of gender parity reported in 2007. Few regions have ever reported an overrepresentation of girls.

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.
