The bar charts provide information about the proportion of students


who were succeeded in their high school competency exams in terms
of subject and gender, between the period 2010 and 2011. It is
obvious that girls performed better in most subjects in the competency
exams than boys.
As can be seen from the figure, students of both categories
performed best in Computer Science, Mathematics and Foreign
Languages. A small disparity was seen in the results for boys and
girls. In other subjects, however, there were some significant
differences.
The percentage of girls passing Computer Science was higher than
that of boys, at 56.3% and 42.1% respectively. The difference was
greater in Chemistry, where 16% more girls produced their better
outcomes in comparison with boys. Meanwhile, a striking feature is
that the only subject where boys results were better than girls was
Geography where they achieved the best rate of 30.4%, which was
10% higher than the results for girls.
