Datu, Filipino Girls Outdo Boys In Int’l Math Test
« on: March 12, 2009, 11:48:08 PM »
MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino female second-year high school students consistently outperformed their male counterparts in mathematics, according to two surveys conducted by a US government agency.

"The studies show that though empowering women in the scientific realm is an uphill climb, it is very possible to achieve that goal," institute director Dr. Ester Ogena said in a statement.

The mathematics test is composed of five sections namely: number, algebra, data, geometry and measurement. The number section tested the students' understanding on number theories like integers, fractions, ratio, etc., SEI information Mark Ivan Roblas explained in a phone interview.

The data section, meanwhile, tested the comprehension of pupils when numbers were presented in tables, graphs and figures, he added.

Results showed that female students topped the data, algebra and number sections of the mathematics test, scoring 26 percent, 30 percent and 32 percent respectively. In the same sections, male high school students put up 24 percent, 26 percent and 29 percent respectively.
