Reformed GCSEs could benefit boys over girls
Changes to GCSEs could push boys further ahead in maths and close the gap with girls in English, Tes has reported.
According to leading academic, Professor Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research and the University of Buckingham, the gap between boys and girls could become smaller in the reformed English GCSE.
Professor Smithers also states that boys could pull further ahead of girls in the new maths GCSE.
Pupils are expected to collect their GCSE results this Thursday, 24 August, which will be graded from 9 to 1 opposed to the traditional A* to G.
Last years results showed that boys had a slight lead of 0.5 percentage points over girls at A* to C in maths.
However, girls were 15.9 percentage points in front of boys in English.
