Figure R2a. Difference in average scores of 15-year-old female and male students on PISA reading literacy scale, by education system: 2012
NOTE: Education systems are ordered by female-male 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 females and males 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.
