Reading is a basis of learning proficiency and the lack of reading habit seems to be casting the boys dearly. The attention span of boys tends to be shorter than that of girls. Girls can concentrate better in class and hence are more likely to fare better in exams.
But it's true, there are some schools of thought that outright deny the existence of soulmates, or claim that not everyone has one. Let's put those...

Sakshi Verma of Barabanki topped the Intermediate examination of UP Board, in which about 29 lakh students had appeared, by securing 98.20 percent. Girls also outshined boys in the overall pass percentage. Out of the 31 lakh students who had appeared for UP board exams, one of country’s biggest secondary examination board, 87.66 percent had passed. The pass percentage among girls was 91.11 percent and among boys it was 84.82 percent. In intermediate examination, the pass percentage among girl students was 92.48, whereas among boys it was 84.35 per cent. The success story of girls in the examination results does not end here. Sukriti Gupta topped the CBSE Class XII board exams with 99.4 percent, followed by second toppers Palak Goyal and Somya Uppar from Haryana, both of whom had scored 496 marks. Last year, the passing percentage of girls was a mighty 98.94 percent as compared to 98.64 percent for boys. What could be the reason for girls doing better than the boys year after year? Do they concentrate more or are they more hard working? We try to find out. In a new study by OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), the performances of 15-year-old boys and girls were examined in various subjects, including math and science. It was found that boys had an edge over girls in math and science, but the overall result was in the favour of girls. The study also revealed that boys struggled more than girls in academics and they were 50 percent more likely to fall short of basic standards in these areas. The psychologists at the universities of Glasgow and Missouri studied the educational achievement levels of 1.5 million 15-year-olds from around the world using Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data taken between 2000 and 2010. The findings show that even in countries which are known for their lack of gender equality, including Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, girls still outstrip educational performance of boys. After analysing various factors, it can be concluded that girls have an edge over the boys owing to the following reasons.

Daniel Voyer and Susan Voyer, Psychologists at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, did what’s called a meta-analysis, combining data from many different published studies. They ended up with details on more than a million boys and girls in more than 300 studies across the world, including the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It was found that the popular theory that girls find it easier than boys to sit still and concentrate in class, or at least to behave in a way that pleases teachers may hold true.
