Figure M2a. Difference in average scores of 15-year-old female and male students on PISA mathematics literacy scale, by education system: 2012
# Rounds to zero.
NOTE: Education systems are ordered by absolute male-female difference in 2012 average score. Differences were computed using unrounded numbers. Scores are reported on a scale from 0 to 1,000. Score differences as noted between males and females are significantly different at the .05 level of statistical significance. The OECD average is the average of the national average differences of the OECD member countries, with each country weighted equally. Italics indicate non-OECD countries and education systems. Results for Connecticut, Florida, and Massachusetts are for public school students only.
