This review paper seeks to give a succinct picture of gender differences in educational performance in the sociocultural context of various societies across the globe. Thus, the paper is based on the key findings of different studies, both from global north and global south. The study findings highlight the gender reverse change in education across the world. It also highlights the reasons of boys’ underperformance and girls’outperformance in different societies.

Until recently, girls fell behind boys in education. Girls’ access to education was limited and discriminatory. Education was considered the prerogative of men/boys (Ullah, 2013) . Girls were disadvantaged in education as they received less teachers’ attention and limited access to higher education. Such attitude resulted in discrimination between boys and girls forcing girls to leave school early than boys and advantaged boys to continue schooling and perform better than girls. Nevertheless, data from 1990s and 2000 continue to suggest a dramatic change in education in the form of girls' outperformance. Girls are outperforming boys in education irrespective of the global north and south (Burgess and Parker, 1997; Parson and Ozaki, 2018) . A number of studies concluded that girls’outperformance and boys’ underperformance in education appears to be a global trend. This paper, after skimming and sharing the findings of many studies from different socio-cultural backgrounds across the world, asserts that the position is rather more complex than the simple statement ‘girls are now outperforming boys’. We argue that more and more studies in different contexts need to be carried out to prove the ongoing trend as  \nestablished fact.  \nThe late 20th century has seen a gender reversal change in education in the form of girls’ outperformance and boys’ underachievement. A considerable number of studies and debates have been carried out on this reversal change in education in global north (Gouleta, 2015; McDowell, 2000; Mburu, 2016; Peter et al. , 2005; Bae et al. , 2000:2; Hung et al. , 2012; Peter et al. , 2005; Bae et al. , 2000) and global south (Datta, 2014; Good et al. , 2003; Twist et al. , 2004) . The discourse of boys’outperformance in education that once existed has now been shifted to girls’ outperformance. Younger and Warrington (2007) assert that this change has been evolved from the boys’ underachievement and girls’higher achievement in education. It is reinforced by the findings a recent study conducted by Parson and Ozaki (2018) . According to the findings, girls are outperforming boys in education. They concluded that the performance gap, favoring girls, is significantly increasing particularly in secondary education. It is now an established fact that boys now not only fall behind in terms of educational achievement at school level (Minello and Blossfeld, 2017; Lai, 2010; Jürges and Schneider, 2011; Warrington et al. , 2003; Burns and Bracey, 2001) but ","cbCaiunvmZZfjTAO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiunvmZZfjTAO","pdf",115727,"English","# Introduction\n# Materials and Methods\n# Review Results","[{\"question\":\"What shift does the paper focus on in educational performance by gender?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on a gender reversal change in education, where girls increasingly outperform boys across global north and global south contexts.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the review approach select studies?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses a systematic selection process, focusing on research about girls’ outperformance and boys’ underachievement, searching accessible online databases and continuing until reaching saturation after skimming 49 studies.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the review report about outcomes in the global north?\",\"answer\":\"The review presents that studies across the developed world show girls outperform boys at school, college, and university levels, citing multiple findings from different societies.\"}]","Boys versus girls’ educational performance - Empirical evidences from global north and global south | PDF",1792070536,13]
