Why do results tilt this way?
Education experts and schools Principals points to regular attendance, study discipline, and earlier preparation. These traits are often linked with female students.
Teachers report girls maintain homework routines, attempt all questions, and avoid risk-taking that can hurt boys in objective sections.
Socioeconomic factors are important.
Many boys mainly from low income households balance part time work or family businesses, reducing study hours and rest.
Girls benefit from targeted stipend schemes and stricter attendance tracking in public schools, which improves continuity and focus.
The data helps explain why female students scored better than male students this year.
Despite Pakistan’s low ranking gender parity index, these stats offer a positive image of parents taking girls education important.
But officials also stress support for boys ahead of Class 10.
Experts suggests that Boards must plan remedial camps, counselling, and attendance enforcement mechanism before next year’s exam.
Moreover, teachers argue that ‘sustaining girls’ gains while lifting boys can raise overall pass rates.
