Kids across the nation are getting ready to go back to school. For boys and girls, that means the excitement of seeing friends and learning new subjects. But does gender make a difference?

A meta-analysis published by the American Psychological Association examines gender differences in schools across 300 countries and over nearly one hundred years. The findings may surprise you. It turns out girls have been getting better grades than boys for decades. Girls not only do markedly better in language classes, but they also outperform boys in math and science. (The female advantage in school performance in math and science does not appear until the adolescent years.) The review includes 300 studies involving more than one million participants from across the globe, from elementary school through graduate school. The majority of the participants were from the United States, but there are also children from Europe, Australia, and Asia. While girls received better grades, the evidence shows that boys typically score better on one-time tests, such as the SAT Reasoning Tests, which are used by many colleges in the U.S. The authors cite a myriad of reasons why girls may be performing better in school, and call for further investigation. It may be that parents encourage girls more than boys because they assume they need more help. Or, schools may be structured in favor of learning styles typically preferred by girls, the authors said. "One of the big questions this analysis raises is what happens to these gains once individuals enter the professional world, where adult males are more likely than women to hold the highest ranked positions regardless of professional focus or discipline," said Janis Whitlock, a research analyst at the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. “This question, of course, is not novel; shifts in early and later achievement trends by gender have garnered an increasing amount of academic and public attention. Regardless of the reasons for these trends over time, meta-analyses such as this suggest that socialization and gender expectations play a significantly larger role than biologically-based capacity in determining individual academic and professional trajectories over time.” The takeaway: The fact that girls perform better in school compared to boys is nothing new. The real question lies in how these gender issues change over time, and what they mean for men and women in the workforce.

Who teaches better male or female?

Additionally, women teachers focus on a child's holistic development. While women teachers are the right fit at the primary level, in higher classes, male teachers are preferred to better discipline the students. Women are naturally equipped with skills to handle junior kids and better understand their emotional needs.

Nothing to do with gender

Ability to understand students' mental and emotional needs make women a better choice for teachers in primary schools. They have a better understanding of child psychology. However, exceptions are always there. Not just as teachers, women are also good counsellors. Availability of women teachers in school brings a sense of security among children when they step out of their comfort zone. Additionally, women teachers focus on a child's holistic development.While women teachers are the right fit at the primary level, in higher classes, male teachers are preferred to better discipline the students. Women are naturally equipped with skills to handle junior kids and better understand their emotional needs. However, they lack the strictness required to handle senior students. Female teachers are also often reluctant to improve their subject knowledge.Women are born with empathy, high emotional quotient, etc. Blessed with these virtues, women are certainly more equipped as against their male counterparts to understand a child's ability to learn quickly. But, one should also avoid stereotyping this statement because male teachers are equally kind-hearted and affectionate.A good teacher is a person who can connect with the students and plan the lessons accordingly. This has nothing to do with one's gender and if we talk about the motherly instinct, then fathers also have fatherly instincts.
