The given bar charts compares and contrasts data on the changes in the proportion of students who were managed to finish in their highschool competency exams, by subject and gender, in the period between 2010 and 2011.
In general, during the time from 2010 to 2011, girls performed better in most subject in competency exams than boys.
As can be seen that students in both sexes performed best in some subjects including Foreign Languages, Mathematics and Computer Science. The number of boys passing Foreign Languages and Mathematics was the same as that of girls managing to finish these tests.
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 pass in comparison with boys. Surprisingly, a striking feature is that Geography was the only subject which boys’ results were better than girls, at 30.4% and 20.1% respectively.
